Explanation
Why A — Either the updated brochure with a summary of material changes, or the summary with an offer to provide the updated brochure
Within 120 days after fiscal year-end, an adviser generally must deliver either an updated brochure accompanied by a summary of material changes or the summary with an offer to provide the updated brochure without charge. This is more precise than describing the obligation as merely an annual offer.
