FINRA is proposing to transfer NASD Rule 2510 into the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook as FINRA Rule 3260 and on November 12, 2009 published Regulatory Notice 09-63 seeking comments on its proposal to amend its rules governing discretionary accounts and transactions.
The Financial Services Institute responded on December 28 in a letter from FSI President Dale Brown. The letter noted that the organization generally supports the proposal but does have some concerns about the removal of a provision from NASD Rule 2510 that allows customers to provide written limited discretionary authority over the price and time of a securities order.
