Under FINRA rules, broker-dealers must deliver account statements at least quarterly for inactive accounts and monthly for any month with activity. Under SEC Regulation S-P, privacy notices are required at account opening and annually, with convenient opt-out channels.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine account statement delivery frequency under FINRA rules.
Statements are required monthly if there is activity, and at least quarterly if the account is inactive.
This keeps investors informed of their portfolio positions and account status.
2
Evaluate Regulation S-P initial/annual notice and opt-out requirements.
Initial privacy notices must be provided at or before account opening, annual notices must be provided while the account remains open, and opt-out methods must be reasonable and convenient.
Regulation S-P protects customer nonpublic personal information and ensures consumers can easily restrict data sharing with nonaffiliated third parties.
