Through our Advisor Compliance Obligations Reporting System, we now provide Section 13 monitoring, alerts and on-demand reporting for advisors trading through us that they may need to file Form 13F or Schedules 13D/13G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of the types and amount of positions held in their client and proprietary accounts. This system was designed to support Form 13F and Schedule 13D/G monitoring and reporting for advisory firms with multiple advisors.
