Net Capital Requirements

NOTE 7 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As a result of its activities as a U.S. broker-dealer, Edward Jones is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and capital compliance rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $0.25 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. The net capital rules also provide that Edward Jones’ partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting net capital would be less than minimum requirements. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the approval of the SEC and FINRA to the extent they exceed defined levels, even though such withdrawals would not cause net capital to be less than minimum requirements.

 

EJ Canada is a registered investment dealer regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization ("CIRO"). Under the regulations prescribed by CIRO, EJ Canada is required to maintain minimum levels of risk-adjusted capital, which are dependent on the nature of EJ Canada's assets and operations.
