GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This report is required by Section 15C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78o-5) and the regulations
thereunder, 17 CFR 400.4. The Department of the Treasury and the appropriate regulatory agencies, as defined below,
regard the information provided by each respondent as confidential.
1. As used in these instructions and Form G-FIN-5:
a. The term financial institution government securities broker or dealer means a government securities broker or
dealer that is a financial institution and that has not been exempted from regulation as a government securities
broker or dealer under Part 401 of Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations; and
b. The term person associated with a financial institution government securities broker or dealer means a person,
other than a person whose functions are solely clerical or ministerial, who is engaged in any of the following
activities in either a supervisory or non-supervisory capacity: (i) underwriting, trading or sales of government
securities; (ii) financial advisory or consultant services for issuers in connection with the issuance of government
securities; (iii) research or investment advice, other than general economic information or advice, with respect to
government securities in connection with the activities described in clauses (i) and (ii); (iv) activities other than
those specifically mentioned which involve communication, directly or indirectly, with public investors in
government securities in connection with the activities described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The term also
includes anyone directly engaged in the following activities in a supervisory capacity: (i) processing and
clearance activities with respect to government securities and (ii) maintenance of records involving any of the
activities described in this paragraph (b).
Persons who function solely in a fiduciary capacity and persons whose sole government securities activities are,
without exercising any investment discretion and solely at the direction of customers, to receive and/or transmit
customer orders to purchase or sell government securities, but who do not give investment advice or receive
transaction-based compensation, are not “associated persons” and are not required to file this form. Directors
and senior officers of the financial institution who may from time to time set broad policy guidelines affecting the
financial institution as a whole that are not directly related to the conduct of the financial institution’s government
securities business are not considered to be “directly engaged” in the activities described in this paragraph and
are not required to file this form.
2. Form G-FIN-5 is to be used by financial institution government securities brokers and dealers to report the
termination of association of a person with the financial institution government securities broker or dealer as provided
in the rules of the Department of the Treasury, 17 CFR 400.4.
This form should be used only when a Form U-5 or MSD-5 has not been filed with respect to such person.
Termination includes transfer of an individual to another position in the financial institution that does not involve the
individual in the activities included in the definition of person associated with a financial institution government
securities broker or dealer.
3. Financial institution government securities brokers and dealers are required to file Form G-FIN-5 with the appropriate
regulatory agency as set forth below:
a. The Comptroller of the Currency in the case of a national bank, a Federal savings bank, a bank in the District of
Columbia examined by the Comptroller of the Currency, or a Federal branch or Federal agency of a foreign bank
(as such terms are used in the International Banking Act of 1978);
b. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the case of a State member bank of the Federal
Reserve System, a foreign bank, an uninsured State branch or State agency of a foreign bank, a commercial
lending company owned or controlled by a foreign bank (as such terms are used in the International Banking Act
of 1978), or a corporation organized or having an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System pursuant to section 25 or section 25A of the Federal Reserve Act;
c. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in the case of a state savings bank, a bank insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (other than a member of the Federal Reserve System or a Federal savings bank)
or an insured State branch of a foreign bank (as such terms are used in the International Banking Act of 1978);
