Joint Statement On No-Action Relief For Non-Compliance With The Customer Protection Rule, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Oct. 23, 2020
Date 23/10/2020
Last night, a no-action letter was issued relating to apparent non-compliance by certain broker-dealers with Rule 15c3-3, which is aptly named the “Customer Protection Rule.” In short, certain broker-dealers’ failure to comply with the Customer Protection Rule puts retail customer funds and securities at risk, and the no-action letter purports to allow this misconduct to continue for up to six additional months. The letter clearly states that these practices are not consistent with the requirements of the Customer Protection Rule. On that point we agree, and it is critical that registrants heed that message.

Statement Regarding Tradenet Capital Markets Ltd., SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Oct. 23, 2020
Date 23/10/2020
I supported today’s Commission action against Tradenet Capital Markets Ltd., though not without reservations. Tradenet provided its customers “Day Trader Education Packages” that included a simulated “funded account” in which they could “trade” securities.

Some purchasers of these packages appear to have voluntarily purchased successive packages, and participants appear to have transacted with Tradenet voluntarily and with clear information about the terms of the deal. While Tradenet’s product offering had an educational component, it was primarily about the simulated “funded account,” which could not have been offered to U.S. retail investors under our existing rules
