As we previously reported, FINRA amended its rules relating to research in order to bring them in line with the changes brought about by the JOBS Act. The SEC approved the FINRA rule changes, and earlier this week, FINRA published Notice 12-49, available here http://www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p196166.pdf.

Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.
