On August 23, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to Securities and Exchange Act Rule 15b9-1 that narrow the exemption from FINRA membership (“Rule 15b9-1 Amendments”). Certain broker-dealers will be required to become a FINRA member if the broker-dealer effects transactions other than on an exchange of which it is a member unless certain conditions are met.
Please refer to the following Regulatory Circulars for more information on the new FINRA membership requirements:
