All of those accounts are subject to the Code&rsquo;s investment and securities account restrictions, and new employees must comply with those investment restrictions&mdash;including disposing of any security issued by a company on FINRA&rsquo;s Prohibited Company List or obtaining a written waiver from their Executive Vice President&mdash;by the date they begin employment with FINRA. Employees may only maintain securities accounts that must be disclosed to FINRA at one or more securities firms that provide an electronic feed (e-feed) of data to FINRA, and must move securities accounts from other securities firms to a firm that provides an e-feed within three months of beginning employment.</div><div></div><div><br>
