Under SEC Regulation S-P and FINRA rules regarding customer account communications, broker-dealers must comply with specific disclosure timelines based on the nature of the client relationship and account activity. Match each relationship scenario on the left with its corresponding regulatory delivery requirement on the right.

  • Establishing an ongoing retail customer relationship by opening a brokerage accountInitial privacy notice must be delivered at or before the time the customer relationship is formally established
  • Maintaining a customer account that experienced trade executions or cash transfers during the calendar monthAccount statements must be delivered to the customer at least on a monthly basis
  • Maintaining a customer account with held positions but zero trading or cash activity during the preceding periodAccount statements must be delivered to the customer at least on a quarterly basis
  • Interacting with a casual consumer (no ongoing account established) where nonpublic personal information will be shared with nonaffiliated third partiesInitial privacy notice must be provided before disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties

Cevap

1. Establishing an ongoing retail customer relationship -> Initial privacy notice delivered at or before relationship establishment.
2. Account with trade/cash activity during the month -> Account statement delivered at least monthly.
3. Inactive account with held positions -> Account statement delivered at least quarterly.
4. Casual consumer with NPI shared to nonaffiliated third parties -> Privacy notice provided prior to NPI disclosure.
Establishing an ongoing customer relationship mandates an initial privacy notice at or before account opening. Account activity dictates statement delivery frequency: active accounts require monthly statements, while inactive accounts require quarterly statements. For casual consumers, a privacy notice is required prior to sharing nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the distinction between a 'consumer' and a 'customer' under Regulation S-P
Opening an account creates a customer relationship requiring an initial privacy notice at or before establishment. A consumer inquiry only requires a notice prior to sharing nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties.
Reg S-P imposes stricter ongoing notice requirements for customers with ongoing relationships than for one-time consumers.
2
Determine the statement delivery frequency rules under FINRA standards based on account activity
Active accounts require monthly statement delivery, whereas inactive accounts holding securities require at least quarterly delivery.
FINRA rules protect investors by ensuring monthly reporting during active trading while permitting quarterly statements during periods of inactivity.
