Terrific Custody Services has started holding clients' documents of title. Under the General Code of Conduct, what must they do on receiving such documents?
RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.
- a) Hold the documents but provide no acknowledgement unless the client specifically asks for one.
- b) Provide written confirmation within 30 days, with no description of the documents.
- c) Promptly provide written confirmation of receipt that contains a description sufficient to identify the documents held.Correct
- d) Provide only a verbal acknowledgement at the next client meeting.
Why this is the answer
Where a provider holds documents of title, the Code requires prompt written confirmation of receipt with enough detail to identify the documents. A vague or absent acknowledgement, or a month-long delay with no description, would not satisfy the Code.
