Important
Information
FINRA’s Code of
Conduct imposes restrictions on employees’ investments and requires financial
disclosures that are uniquely related to our role as a securities regulator.
FINRA employees are required to disclose to FINRA all brokerage accounts that
they maintain, and those in which they control trading or have a financial
interest (including any trust account of which they are a trustee or beneficiary
and all accounts of a spouse, domestic partner or minor child who lives with the
employee) and to authorize their broker-dealers to provide FINRA with duplicate
statements for all of those accounts. All of those accounts are subject to the
Code’s investment and securities account
restrictions, and new employees must comply with those
investment restrictions—including disposing of any security issued by a company
on FINRA’s Prohibited Company List or obtaining a written waiver from their
Executive Vice President—by the date they begin employment with FINRA.
Employees may only maintain securities accounts that must be disclosed to FINRA
at one or more securities firms that provide an electronic feed (e-feed) of data
to FINRA, and must move securities accounts from other securities firms to a
firm that provides an e-feed within three months of beginning
employment.
As standard practice,
employees must also execute FINRA’s Employee Confidentiality and Invention
Assignment Agreement without qualification or modification and comply with the
company’s policy on nepotism.
About
FINRA
The Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA) is an independent, non-governmental regulator for all
securities firms doing business with the public in the United States. FINRA
works to protect investors and maintain market integrity in a public-private
partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while also
benefiting from the SEC’s oversight. In its role as investor guardian, FINRA is
informed, but not influenced, by the industry that it regulates. FINRA’s
independent regulation plays a critical role in America’s financial system–all
at no cost to taxpayers.
FINRA’s independent regulation plays a
critical role in America’s financial system and touches virtually every aspect
of the securities business—from registering and educating industry participants
to examining securities firms; writing rules; enforcing those rules and the
federal securities laws; informing and educating the investing public; providing
trade reporting and other industry utilities; and administering the largest
dispute resolution forum for investors and registered
firms.
All told, FINRA oversees nearly 4,600
brokerage firms, about 164,000 branch offices and approximately 632,000
registered securities representatives. We also perform market regulation under
contract for the major U.S. stock markets, including the New York Stock
Exchange, NYSE Arca, NYSE Amex, The NASDAQ Stock Market and the International
Securities Exchange.
In today's fast-paced and complex global
economy, FINRA is a trusted advocate for investors, dedicated to keeping the
markets fair and proactively addressing emerging regulatory issues before they
harm investors or the markets.

and operates from Washington, DC, and New York, NY, with 20 regional offices
around the country.
