What this video covers

  • What direct and exclusive control means: direct real-time monitoring and exclusive authority to make intraday adjustments
  • Why financial controls, including credit limits and capital thresholds, must always remain with the broker-dealer providing market access
  • Why regulatory controls can be allocated only to a customer that is a registered broker-dealer
  • How to apply every allocation condition: written contract, thorough due diligence, reasonable basis for better access, and no trading for the customer’s own account
  • Why suitability and know-your-customer (KYC) information, restricted-security prevention, and manipulation or fraud surveillance may favor customer-level control
  • The difference between transferring operational control and retaining ultimate responsibility, including ongoing independent review
  • How locate-and-borrow reliance, technology vendors, affiliates, and immediate post-trade execution reports fit into the rule
