Proposed Process Change
• The ACATS process for full account transfers facilitates fast and efficient transfer of client assets. Both the investor and the member firms benefit from speed and efficiency with which client transfer request can be communicated, validated and settled through ACATS.
• The industry as a whole would realize significant processing efficiencies and standardization provided non-ACAT firms fully participated in the ACATS process
• Specifically, Mutual Fund Companies and current ACATS participants would greatly increase processing efficiencies and standardize the transfer process by leveraging the ACATS functionality currently available to Banks (and other non-broker/dealer firms) for non-valued transfers.
