Part 2 of Form ADV is the plain-English brochure. It describes fees, services, conflicts of interest and the adviser's disciplinary record. This tool takes one CRD number and returns the brochures currently on file for that adviser. One item is one brochure.
The tool returns metadata and a link. It does not return the brochure text.
Each url points to a PDF on files.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
The list is the current one. There is no version history and no as-of date. The data updates once a day. A large wirehouse files many brochures, one per programme. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, CRD 149777, returned 12 on 2026-08-13.

| Situation | Better tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You do not know the CRD number | form-adv-firms |
Search Info.BusNm, then read Info.FirmCrdNb. |
| You want structured Part 1 data | form-adv-firms |
Assets, client types and Item 11 answers are in Part 1. |
| You want the separate account detail | form-adv-schedule-d-5-k |
Schedule D 5.K is structured, the brochure is prose. |
| You want an EDGAR document | get-edgar-file |
Brochures are on IAPD, not on EDGAR. |
| Parameter | Type | Required | Constraints | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
crd |
string | Yes | Digits only, 1 to 10 characters | The firm CRD number, for example "149777". Send it as a string. |
The tool takes no query, no paging and no sorting. Anything else you pass is ignored.
The envelope is {brochures[]}. This shape is unique to this tool. There is no
total and no data key. An empty list is {"brochures":[]}.
| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
brochures[] |
array | Brochures the firm submitted. One item is one brochure. |
brochures[].versionId |
number | Brochure version ID. It is also the BRCHR_VRSN_ID in the URL. |
brochures[].name |
string | Brochure name as filed, upper case, for example SELECT UMA PROGRAM BROCHURE. |
brochures[].dateSubmitted |
string | Date the adviser submitted the brochure. YYYY-MM-DD. |
brochures[].url |
string | Link to the brochure PDF on files.adviserinfo.sec.gov. |
There is no pagination. Every current brochure comes back in one call. The list is short. Twelve brochures returned about 2 KB.
An empty brochures array means the adviser has no Part 2 brochure on file.
That is normal for an exempt reporting adviser. Confirm with a firm you know has
brochures before you conclude the adviser has none.
