Municipal Primary Offering Disclosure Report
The Municipal Primary Offering Disclosure Report displays statistics about transactions your firm effected with customers during the securities’ Primary Offering Disclosure Period. This report is designed to aid firms in monitoring their compliance with Rule G-32(a) customer disclosure requirements, which apply to all broker-dealers selling offered municipal securities. Rule G-32 requires that firms must provide their customers copy of the official statement for an offering if a transaction occurs within the primary offering disclosure period (defined as the period beginning when the first order is submitted to the underwriter or the date the underwriter purchases the securities from the issuer and ending 25 calendar days following the settlement date of the offering). This requirement applies to secondary market transactions as well as to primary market transactions, as long as they occur during the primary offering disclosure period.
This report does not provide any indication of whether or not your firm provided the required documentation to the customer. It simply helps you identify the transactions executed by your firm during the month in which you sold a municipal bond to a customer during the bond's primary offering disclosure period. Firms can use the report and the associated detail to review the documentation on these transactions, ensure that the appropriate procedures are in place and confirm that they are being followed.
Please note: detail data is available for this report as well, and provides details for all trades included in the Sales in Primary Offering Disclosure Period count.
This report is produced on a monthly basis, approximately 3 weeks after the end of the report month. Users who have a report to view and who have not opted out of notifications will receive an email indicating that new reports have been published.
The table below provides a reference description for all of the elements found in the Municipal Primary Offering Disclosure Report. (See Municipal Primary Offering Disclosure Report for a sample report.)
