19 June 2015 6:00pm EDT
The FIA Principal Traders Group sent a letter to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on June 19, 2015 expressing its support for the exemption from the Trading Activity Fee that FINRA has proposed for certain transactions executed by proprietary trading firms. The group offered several suggestions for modifying the scope of the proposal so that it is based on the nature of the transaction rather than the nature of the firm.
