FINRA launched a new webcast this week on understanding the outside business activities rule and private securities transaction rule (NASD Rules 3030 and 3040, respectively). The 11-minute webcast does a good job explaining the requirements of the Rules, and would be a good, quick lesson for brokers and those who want to better understand these important Rules. Importantly, the webcast stresses the need for brokers to ensure they understand their firm's policies and procedures in these areas, noting that a firm may impose additional requirements. Check out the webcast here.
