“…so that a 211 is no longer needed to be filed by the firm. We don't need a bunch of links to read every time we say informally that the firm no longer needs a 211. What we mean is that it no longer needs to be filed by the firm “
A 211 is never filed by the company/firm/issuer…nor has it ever been.
They are submitted by a broker dealer. And the change to 15c2-11 now allows an IDQS to also submit them as well.
Understanding how 211’s actually work could be helpful when attempting to label facts as “semantic hairs” when discussing 211’s. Lol.
