FINRA has moved the January 26, 2022 Interim Effective Date for Rule 4210 to April 26, 2022.

According to FINRA, the Effective Date is extended to provide the SEC more time to review and approve the Rule's filing for the amendments proposed in May 2021.

Recent FINRA filings indicate that FINRA still intends to announce a final Effective Date that would be 9-10 months from when the SEC approves the Rule's amendment.

FINRA has proposed amendments to the requirements of SR-FINRA-2015-036 (the “Proposed Amendments”).10 This rulemaking is ongoing. FINRA believes it is appropriate, in the interest of regulatory clarity, to adjust the implementation of the requirements pursuant to SR-FINRA-2015-036 so as to permit time for the Commission to take action on the Proposed Amendments. As such, FINRA is proposing to extend the January 26, 2022 implementation date to April 26, 2022, which date FINRA may propose to further adjust as appropriate in a separate rule filing pending any Commission action on the Proposed Amendments.

This means that the clock is ticking to get your plan in place to comply to FINRA Rule 4210. At Matrix Applications, we can help you prepare with MarginCalculator.
