Cevap

Under SEC recordkeeping rules, broker-dealers must retain copies of each Form CRS (and all related customer delivery records) for 6 years.
The correct answer states 6 years. SEC Exchange Act Rule 17a-4(e)(10) requires broker-dealers to preserve copies of each Form CRS version and records of date of delivery to retail customers for at least 6 years, with the first 2 years in an easily accessible place.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relevant regulatory rule under SEC Regulation Best Interest regarding Form CRS documentation.
Form CRS is governed by SEC Exchange Act Rule 17a-4(e)(10) alongside Reg BI compliance requirements.
Reg BI specifies strict record retention standards to ensure regulators can audit compliance with customer disclosure mandates.
2
Determine the required retention period for Form CRS records.
The rule mandates that all versions of Form CRS, amendments, and proof of delivery to retail investors must be maintained for 6 years.
Form CRS forms part of foundational customer disclosure records, placing it under the 6-year retention category rather than the standard 3-year general record category.
