Abstract:
Rule 18a-1, 17 CFR 240.18a-1, provides the net capital standards and requirements for nonbank firms that are not subject to SEC Rule 15c3-1 and that are required to register with the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as security-based swap dealers (SBSDs). The rule includes information collections that are designed to ensure that these SBSDs maintain sufficient liquidity at all times to meet all unsubordinated obligations of their customers and counterparties and, should an SBSD fail, that there are sufficient resources for an orderly liquidation. The information collection requirements include reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party disclosure requirements that facilitate the SEC's monitoring of the financial condition of these SBSDs.
