Gary Purpura Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-17

I am president of Liberty Capital Investment. We are a small BD with 5 reps. We often buy bonds from 3rd party vendors. We find our clients can get prices by using an outside vendor like Muni Center versus buying from out correspondent inventory. Filling these orders often takes 10 to fifteen minutes to report. In the interest of best client price I remain firmly in favor of keeping the 15 minute report time
