Municipal Advisor Firms

MSRB-Registered Municipal Advisor Firms and Qualified Representatives and Principals

The Municipal Advisor Firms tab displays municipal advisor firms registered with the MSRB with at least one individual associated with the firm who has passed the MSRB’s Municipal Advisor Representative Qualification Examination (Series 50).1

Municipal advisor firms must have at least one individual appropriately qualified who has passed the Series 50 exam in order to engage in municipal advisory activities. Municipal market participants should closely review this list as part of evaluating the qualifications of a municipal advisor firm. Any entity that is engaging in municipal advisory activities on behalf of a municipal entity or obligated person client without having taken the necessary steps to become a duly registered municipal advisor firm – meaning having filed Form MA (Application for Municipal Advisor Registration) and Form MA-I (Information Regarding Natural Persons Who Engage in Municipal Advisory Activities) with the SEC and Form A-12 with the MSRB – could be deemed an unregistered municipal advisor firm, which is a violation of MSRB rules and other federal securities laws.

The link on this tab facilitates access to the required disclosures that municipal advisor firms make to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on SEC Forms MA and MA-I. These disclosures may include information about criminal actions, regulatory actions, investigations, terminations, judgments, liens, civil judicial actions, customer complaints, arbitrations and civil litigation, if any. Read more about working with municipal advisors in the MSRB Education Center.

Only those who have passed the Series 50 exam and are associated with an MSRB-registered municipal advisor firm can be found in the list below.

1 The Series 50 exam is designed to test broad-based knowledge of the business and regulations applicable to municipal advisory activities. The examination is not designed to specifically test each specialized functional role or service that may be provided on behalf of a municipal advisor firm as defined in Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, therefore, does not confer the degree of knowledge and expertise needed to provide a municipal entity or obligated person client with informed advice as required under MSRB Rule G-42.

2 The Series 50-Qualified Representatives’ qualification status is updated weekly, generally on the first business day of the week, and is dependent on the quality of the data a municipal advisor firm submits to the SEC on SEC Form MA-I. If your firm believes that the name of a qualified associated person is not displayed and you have confirmed that a Form MA-I is on file for the individual, please contact MSRB Support at 202-838-1330.

Since the Series 50 exam is a pre-requisite to becoming qualified as a municipal advisor principal, individuals who are Series 54 qualified are also displayed on the Series 50-Qualified Representatives tab.
