The correct statements accurately reflect FINRA regulations: Rule 2165 permits an initial temporary hold of up to 15 business days on disbursements of cash or securities from accounts of specified adults when financial exploitation is reasonably suspected. Rule 4512 requires member firms to make reasonable efforts to obtain trusted contact person information when opening or updating non-institutional customer accounts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the statutory provisions of FINRA Rule 2165 regarding temporary disbursement holds.
FINRA Rule 2165 permits an initial hold of up to 15 business days strictly on outward disbursements of funds or securities for specified adults (aged 65+ or 18+ with impairments) when financial exploitation is suspected. It does not restrict internal security transactions.
Understanding the exact operational scope prevents confusing disbursement holds with trade execution blocks.
2
Evaluate the requirements of FINRA Rule 4512 regarding customer account information.
FINRA Rule 4512 obligates member firms to make reasonable efforts to collect trusted contact person details for non-institutional accounts.
Trusted contact persons serve as an authorized communication path if exploitation or incapacity is suspected.
3
Select all accurate compliance statements based on regulatory rules.
The statements authorizing the 15-business-day disbursement hold and requiring trusted contact collection efforts are correct, while statements asserting trade freezes or a 75+ age requirement are incorrect.
Correctly applying age thresholds and disbursement limitations ensures compliance with FINRA standards.
