1. Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking
- Department of Financial Services
- Securities
- This rule is proposed to be amended to incorporate two new materials by reference (SEC Rules 204-1 and 206(4)-7), proposed to be referenced in Rule 69W-600.0131(1)(a), F.A.C. These SEC rules require federal investment advisers, among other things, to annually file amendments to their registration form (Form ADV) and adopt and implement compliance procedures and practices, respectively. The proposed addition of these SEC rules in Rules 69W-200.002 and 69W-600.0131, F.A.C. will require Florida state registered investment advisers to also comply with the provisions of these rules.
- The Office proposes to repeal current financial reporting rules 69W-300.002 and 69W-600.015 and net capital rule 69W-600.016, to be replaced by proposed new consolidated net capital/financial reporting rules 69W-600.0151 and 69W-600.0161 for dealers/issuer-dealers and investment advisers, respectively. The purpose and effect of these changes are to remove outdated requirements, implement clearer requirements as to financial reporting and calculation of net capital, and improve rule organization by consolidating rules on the same subject while creating separate rules by registration type.
- This rule is proposed to be amended to update cross-references to proposed new rule 69W-600.0151, a consolidated financial reporting and net capital rule for dealers and issuer-dealers. The net capital requirement provisions of existing rule 69W-400.002 are proposed to be stricken and moved to the new proposed rule 69W-600.0151.
- This rule is proposed to be amended to change a cross-reference to current rule 69W-300.002 to proposed new rule 69W-600.0151, a consolidated financial reporting and net capital rule for dealers and issuer-dealers.
- The Office proposes to amend rules 69W-600.0131, .0132, and .014; repeal rules 69W-600.015 and .016, and create new rules 69W-600.0151 and .0161. Rule 600.0131 is proposed to be amended to require Florida state registered investment advisers to comply with SEC Rules 204-1 and 206(4)-7, which currently require federal covered advisers to, among other things, annually file amendments to their registration form (Form ADV) and adopt and implement compliance procedures and practices, respectively. The Office proposes to amend Rule 600.0132 relating to custody requirements for investment advisers to conform the current rule more closely with the NASAA model rule, including adding a requirement for investment advisers with custody who do not meet certain exceptions to have an annual independent verification of client funds and securities. Rule 69W-600.014 is proposed for amendment to add certain recordkeeping requirements for investment advisers who inadvertently hold or obtain client securities or funds, in accordance with NASAA model rules. Finally, the Office proposes to repeal current financial reporting rules 69W-300.002 and 69W-600.015 and net capital rule 69W-600.016, to be replaced by proposed new consolidated net capital/financial reporting rules in 69W-600.0151 and 69W-600.0161 for dealers/issuer-dealers and investment advisers, respectively. The purpose and effect of these changes are to remove outdated requirements, implement clearer requirements as to financial reporting and calculation of net capital, and improve rule organization by consolidating rules on the same subject while creating separate rules by registration type.
- The rule is proposed for amendment to update the disciplinary guidelines incorporated by reference in the rule. The Office proposes to add disciplinary guidelines for violations of Rule 69W-600.004(3), relating to notice-filing of branch offices; sections of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 cited in 69W-600.0131(1)(a); and proposed additions of SEC Rules 204-1 and 206(4)-7 in rules 69W-600.0131(1)(a) and 69W-200.002.
