To support their investor protection missions, FINRA and state securities regulators jointly collect and publicly disclose extensive registration information about financial professionals associated with broker-dealer firms (referred to herein as FINRA-registered financial professionals or RFPs). This registration information, which includes information about customer complaints, is used by regulators to license and oversee RFPs. The information publicly disclosed about RFPs is far more comprehensive than what is published for most other types of professionals.
