Explanation
Why D — Monthly for active accounts; quarterly for inactive accounts
Under FINRA Rule 2231, broker-dealers must send account statements at least quarterly to all customers who have securities positions or cash balances. For accounts with activity during the period, statements must be sent monthly. For accounts with no activity (but with positions or balances), statements may be sent quarterly. Statements must include all positions, balances, and any activity that occurred during the period.
