Highlights of Outside Business Activities and Private Securities Transactions

Overview

FINRA supervision rules require supervisory principals to oversee outside business activities (OBAs) and private securities transactions (PSTs) of registered representatives and non-registered associated persons. This course provides an orientation to OBAs, PSTs, and related regulatory obligations. Increased regulatory scrutiny has expanded supervisory obligations, making it essential for all broker-dealer personnel to understand these concepts and rules.
