Form U5 Information Gets to BrokerCheck Faster with New FINRA Rule Change
Effective December 12, 2015, certain information provided on the registration termination paperwork (Form U5) for a brokerage firm or terminated broker will be accessible on BrokerCheck in 3 business days instead of 15. The SEC approved the proposed change to FINRA Rule 8312 (FINRA BrokerCheck Disclosure). The Form U5 includes important information for investors researching brokers or firms on BrokerCheck, including whether a broker was fired from a firm and the reason given by the firm for termination.
See the full FINRA Regulatory Notice 15-49.
BrokerCheck and other investor educational materials are available on FINRA’s website.
