This collection is needed for the
Commission to continue its financial monitoring of its registrants.
Registrants file financial statements with the Commission for the
purpose of ensuring that filers are meeting their obligations as a
Commission registrant. Additionally, the data being collected
enhances the ability of the Commission to identify problematic
financial matters in time to avoid market disruptions that often
occur when a registrant may fail, particularly with respect to the
tie-up of customer funds that may result. Finally, the rules
require depository institutions that will hold customer funds for a
registrant to acknowledge that the funds belong to the customers of
the registrant, and not to the registrant itself.
