Abstract: Exchange Act Rule 18a-5, as adopted, establishes recordkeeping requirements applicable to stand-alone SBSDs, stand-alone MSBSPs, bank SBSDs, and bank MSBSPs. Rule 18a-5 is modeled on Exchange Act Rule 17a-3, which applies to broker-dealers, but it does not include a parallel requirement for every requirement in Rule 17a-3 because some of the requirements in Rule 17a-3 relate to activities that are not expected or permitted of SBSDs and MSBSPs.
