Pennsylvania Uniform Investment Company Notice Filing is the process by which investment companies must file a notice with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (DBMS) in order to conduct business in the state. The notice must include information about the company, its directors, and its investment activities. The filing serves to protect investors in Pennsylvania by providing the DBMS with information about the company and its practices. There are two types of Pennsylvania Uniform Investment Company Notice Filing: Initial Filing and Annual Renewal Filing. Initial Filing is required when a company is first registering to do business in the state, while Annual Renewal Filing is required annually and must be completed within 60 days of the company’s anniversary date. Both filings must include updated information about the company, its directors, and its investment activities.
