(a) An individual may not transact business in this state as an investment adviser representative unless the individual is registered under this chapter as an investment adviser representative or is exempt from registration as an investment adviser representative under (b) of this section. (b) The following individuals are exempt from the registration requirement of (a) of this section: (1) an individual who is employed by or associated with an investment adviser that is exempt from registration under AS 45.56.340(b) or a federal covered investment adviser that is excluded from the notice filing requirements of AS 45.56.360; and (2) any other individual exempted by a regulation adopted or order issued under this chapter. (c) The registration of an investment adviser representative is not effective while the investment adviser representative is not employed by or associated with an investment adviser registered under this chapter or a federal covered investment adviser that has made or is required to make a notice filing under AS 45.56.360. (d) An individual may transact business as an investment adviser representative for more than one investment adviser or federal covered investment adviser unless a regulation adopted or order issued under this chapter prohibits or limits an individual from acting as an investment adviser representative for more than one investment adviser or federal covered investment adviser. (e) An individual acting as an investment adviser representative may not, directly or indirectly, conduct business in this state on behalf of an investment adviser or a federal covered investment adviser if the registration of the individual as an investment adviser representative is suspended or revoked or the individual is barred from employment or association with an investment adviser or a federal covered investment adviser by an order under this chapter, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a self-regulatory organization. Upon request from a federal covered investment adviser and for good cause, the administrator may by order, waive, in whole or in part, the application of the requirements of this subsection to the federal covered investment adviser. (f) An investment adviser registered under this chapter, a federal covered investment adviser that has filed a notice under AS 45.56.360, or a broker-dealer registered under this chapter is not required to employ or associate with an individual as an investment adviser representative if the only compensation paid to the individual for a referral of investment advisory clients is paid to an investment adviser registered under this chapter, a federal covered investment adviser who has filed a notice under AS 45.56.360, or a broker-dealer registered under this chapter with which the individual is employed or associated as an investment adviser representative.
