Abstract: The SBS Recordkeeping Release proposes new Exchange Act Rule 18a-6 (in conjunction with the proposed new Exchange Act Rule 18a-5) to establish recordkeeping requirements applicable to stand-alone SBSDs, stand-alone MSBSPs, bank SBSDs, and bank MSBSPs. Proposed Rule 18a-6 is modeled on Exchange Act Rule 17a-4, which applies to broker-dealers, but proposed Rule 18a-6 does not include a parallel requirement for every requirement in Rule 17a-4 because some of the requirements in Rule 17a-4 relate to activities that are not expected or permitted of stand-alone SBSDs, stand-alone MSBSPs, bank SBSDs, and bank MSBSPs.
