What the BrokerCheck Ruling Means for Advisors’ Websites
In October 2015, the SEC approved the FINRA Rule 2210, which requires brokerages and individual advisors to include a “readily apparent reference and hyperlink” from their websites to BrokerCheck. By requiring a link to the database where investors can review a registered person’s work history, complaints, and disciplinary records, the SEC explained that the rule is designed to “increase investors’ awareness and use of BrokerCheck.”
