It is Arbitrary and Unworkable: FINRAs definition of complex products is so broad, arbitrary and vague that it could ensnare a vast number of commonly used public securities. It upends Our Regulatory System: Under the long-standing disclosure-based system, investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy. The FINRA plan upends that principle, giving regulatorsnot youthe power to decide what public securities you can and cannot invest in.
