Notice To Members 87-31

TO: All NASD Members and Other Interested Persons

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The NASD wishes to apprise its members of the SEC's recent release relating to mark-ups on zero-coupon securities. The SEC has become aware of potential abuses in this area and emphasizes that applicable provisions of the federal securities laws, NASD rules, and MSRB rules apply equally to zero-coupon securities. The SEC cautions broker-dealers to establish mark-ups in these securities based upon their face value rather than taking into account the discount at which such securities are sold.
