Either the SEC or the state where a firm maintains its principal office will be an advisor’s primary regulator.

Federally Covered Advisors

Firms that are registered with the SEC are required to notice file in states where they have physical locations and may be required to be notice filed in states where they have clients.

State Licensed Advisors

Registration requirements are triggered by the number of clients and the firm’s physical locations.

Hedge Funds

An entity that acts solely as an advisor to a private fund or funds and has assets under management in the United States of $150 million will have the SEC as its primary regulator.  An entity with less than $150 million will be subject to the registration requirements of the state or states where they have physical locations and investors.
