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

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.

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.

Passed 66 on the first try with flying colors. Solomon materials and advice was spot on. Follow it!

I passed the S7 TO first time it was introduced from last year. I have used several books and none of them could be as complete as this one. I am a living witness to the completeness of your course material. If that was not the case, I would not have passed this very difficult exam. I owe my success to your exam materials and no other book, from those I know have come close. I am going to study for the Series 66 through Solomon Exam Prep. If this can help me through, then I am sure many more people would also succeed.

I have to commend everyone at Solomon Exam Prep in getting me ready for and helping me pass my "Series 65" State Securities Law exam. I did not have a securities background nor did I work in the industry, and at 51 years old it was a challenge for me to go back to hitting the books. In addition to studying for the exam I was running my full time business and working 60+ hours a week. But with their help and support I passed on my first attempt.
