VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE

Preparing for PTE 2020-02

Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at 1 pm – 3 pm ET

Time is running out for meeting compliance for PTE 2020-02.  By December 21, your firm’s processes and documentation must be in place.

Some broker-dealers may be thinking that their Reg BI compliance efforts will cover these new requirements. Unfortunately, that is not the case. For example, the PTE’s mitigation requirements appear to be more demanding than the SEC’s. And the PTE’s mitigation rules apply at the firm level, while the SEC’s do not.

We invite you to attend our Virtual Roundtable to hear industry experts discuss the nuances of PTE 2020-02 and what firms need to do to get ready.

Chip Kispert, managing partner at Beacon Strategies is a 20-year veteran of the broker-dealer and asset management marketplace. In collaboration with InvestorCOM, Chip will moderate this interactive roundtable discussion.

Attendance is limited to 20 participants.
