Send us Fan Mail

regulatory framework established by FINRA for governing how financial firms communicate with the public. It distinguishes between retail, institutional, and correspondence categories, outlining specific pre-filing and post-use submission timelines based on the type of investment product and the firm's membership tenure. Key requirements include mandatory approval by a qualified principal for most retail materials to ensure compliance with industry standards. The documentation also lists various filing exceptions, such as for prospectuses or previously approved templates, while offering pathways for voluntary submissions. Ultimately, these guidelines serve to maintain market transparency and protect investors from misleading promotional content.
