3. Cash Segregated Under Federal and Other Regulations
At December 31, 2021, $351,475 of cash and securities was segregated, secured and sequestered
in accordance with federal and other regulations.
The Company is required to segregate cash in a special reserve bank account for the exclusive
benefit of customers under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (the "Customer Protection Rule"). The Company also
performs a separate computation for assets in the proprietary accounts of broker-dealers ("PAB")
in accordance with the Customer Protection Rule. At December 31, 2021 the Company maintained
$5,825,617 of segregated securities comprised of $5,550,000 of qualified securities segregated for
15c3-3 purposes and the remaining $275,617 pursuant to FCM requirements.
At December 31, 2021, the Company was required to segregate $5,949,552, secure $1,507,615,
and sequester (OTC cleared swaps) $1,022,384 of cash or securities under the Commodity
Exchange Act. The Company had $6,230,079 segregated, $1,663,609 secured, and $1,268,500
sequestered (OTC cleared swaps) which represented funds deposited by clients, funds accruing to
clients as a result of trades or contracts, and securities owned by clients. Securities owned by clients
and segregated, secured, or sequestered by the Company are not reflected on the statement of
financial condition.
4. Collateralized Agreements
The Company enters into collateralized resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing
and lending transactions that may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to the
transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company minimizes credit risk
associated with these activities by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral values
on a daily basis and requiring additional collateral to be deposited with or returned by the Company
when deemed necessary. In addition, the Company manages credit risk by entering into netting
agreements with counterparties. These netting agreements generally enable the counterparties to
offset liabilities against available assets received - in the ordinary course of business and/or in the
event that the counterparty to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation.
The Company offsets these financial assets and financial liabilities on the statement of financial
condition only when it has an enforceable legal right to offset the respective recognized amounts
and meets other offsetting requirements.
