In general, an investment adviser firm’s code of ethics requires each access person within the firm to submit annually to the firm’s chief compliance officer (“CCO”) or other designee a report of the access person’s current personal securities holdings.
Typically, the report must include the following information:
- The title and type of security, and as applicable the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, number of shares, and principal amount of each reportable security in which the access person has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership;
- The name of any broker, dealer or bank with which the access person maintains an account in which any securities are held for the access person’s direct or indirect benefit; and
- The date the access person submits the report.
The information within the report must be current (as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date the report was submitted).
