  4. D
    Extending FDIC insurance coverage to customer equity and cash balances held within the brokerage accounts

Cevap

Safekeeping customer funds and securities and issuing trade confirmations and account statements.
In a fully disclosed clearing agreement, the carrying broker-dealer performs back-office functions including maintaining physical custody of customer assets, executing trade settlements, and directly issuing trade confirmations and account statements to the introducing firm's clients.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Differentiate between introducing broker-dealers and carrying (clearing) broker-dealers.
Introducing firms focus on client relationships and sales, while carrying firms handle back-office clearing and operational functions.
Fully disclosed clearing agreements separate customer-facing activities from trade processing and custody.
2
Identify the operational responsibilities explicitly assigned to the carrying broker-dealer.
The carrying firm maintains custody of funds and securities, clears transactions, and sends customer statements and trade confirmations.
FINRA rules require carrying firms to provide operational infrastructure and account maintenance for introducing firms operating on a fully disclosed basis.
