    Who needs to register in Michigan

    Any Private Fund Manager / Exempt Reporting Adviser with a principal place of business in Michigan, or with clients located in Michigan above the de minimis threshold, must register with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs — Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau or — if eligible — with the SEC.

    Michigan-specific nuance

    Michigan requires a $200 RIA registration fee and mandates the CE requirement for IARs (NASAA Model Rule adopted).

    Regulator: Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs — Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau

    Annual obligations for Private Funds
