SR-FINRA-2026-019

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change that would simplify position statement and reconciliation requirements for certain alternative investments.  Specifically, the proposed rule change would amend FINRA Rule 4522 (Periodic Security Counts, Verifications and Comparisons) to except uncertificated investments in unregistered investment funds from the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) of the rule, as further set forth in the proposed rule change.

Ensure Discrepancies are Reported or Balance is Paid

Firms must submit any amount owed on the Final Statement to FINRA by this day. Money can be deposited directly into the Renewal Account, or firms can rely on FINRA to transfer funds from the firm's Flex-Funding Account beginning Jan. 22. To take advantage of this transfer, the complete amount due for renewals must be available in your firm’s Flex-Funding Account. See the Renewal Payment Options page for more information.
