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.

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.

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.

Well, I am back! Solomon did it again. I passed the Series 6. All of Solomons materials throughly prepared me for the passing of the SIE and the Series 6. Whose materials will I use for the Series 63? I am glad you asked. I must say it will be Solomon Exam Prep. Thanks again, Solomon your study materials are the best!

I just took and passed the Series 51 in one attempt. The Solomon materials were excellent. The Solomon simulated tests were very beneficial and were very similar to the actual 51 test. Thanks to Solomon I was well prepared to succeed. When I was taking the actual 51 exam, I did not encounter any surprises that I was not prepared for. Solomon seems to have it very well covered. My method for success? I read the book chapter by chapter, taking the chapter practice tests along the way. I saved the questions I missed for review later. I then went through the book a second time using the same method. After reviewing the questions I had missed on the smaller exams, I started taking the timed simulation for the test. Again, I reviewed the questions I got wrong, making sure I understood the reason for getting it wrong and what the right answer should be. I did this review of missed questions every time I took the simulated exam. I took the simulated exam five or six times, getting scores in the low 80s. This method prepared me to take the real test which I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend both Solomon and this study method for taking the 51. Good luck all future test takers!!!!
