3.2.3 FINRA Chinese Wall Rules

Soon after passage of the ITSFEA, FINRA developed Chinese Wall rules to implement the ITSFEA’s requirement for information barriers. A Chinese Wall is an information barrier meant to prevent broker-dealer personnel from benefiting from leaks of corporate inside information. FINRA imposed the following Chinese Wall compliance guidelines:

• Firms that conduct investment banking, research, or arbitrage activities must maintain restricted lists of securities in which proprietary and employee transactions are restricted or prohibited. A firm must review and investigate proprietary and employee trading for possible employee misuse of inside information in these listed securities. A firm also must keep watch lists where trading is not prohibited by employees, but they must be scrutinized carefully. Documentation of the dates and reasons why securities were added or deleted from these lists must be kept.
• Firms must formalize

What are people saying?

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

I passed my exam! The Solomon practice tests were equal or hard than the Series 99 questions which helped me crush it! Solomon was a 10/10 experience and I will definitely recommend it to any friends and work peers. It was lifechanging.

For the Series 99 I bought and studied the STC and the Kaplan study manuals and test banks but I pattern matching questions versus fundamentally understanding the content. I stumbled upon the Solomon test bank during a Google search and I am glad that I did. The Solomon test bank went into a lot more detail in the answers which allowed me to better understand the actual content versus just pattern recognition in the questions. Some have said that the Solomon test bank is harder than the test which I think may be true but learning the content at this level of detail is how I was able to feel confident walking in and walking out with a pass on the first attempt.

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.

I just passed the 82 on my first attempt. The study guide and unlimited practice study exams are priceless. I took full practice exams until I was scoring in the 90's and I'm glad I did. The questions on the actual exam were more difficult than any of my practice exams but I was able to think through them and apparently answer enough questions correctly. I truly wouldn't have passed this exam without all of the practice exams Solomon offered.

I thought you might appreciate knowing that I passed the test with a 90 today. Thanks again for all the help and good quality material that your company has. I am very glad to have used your materials and will certainly refer others to Solomon Exam Prep. (Series 6 & 63)
