Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Monthly Confirmations for Money Market Trades
If you hold certain money market funds that attempt to keep a stable net asset value and charge no sales load or redemption fee, your broker may send transaction confirmations monthly instead of immediately. To use this exemption, the broker must give you an initial written notice that you may request immediate confirmations and must not receive any request from you for immediate confirmations.
Small Compliance Burden for Broker-Dealers
The Commission estimates about 206 broker-dealers would be responsible for providing the ongoing notifications, with an estimated ongoing burden of approximately 1.8 hours per broker-dealer per year (about 371 hours total annually). The agency describes this ongoing notification cost as minimal, roughly 5% of the initial estimated burden.
