Compliance Rule 2-30 requires each Member soliciting a new customer to obtain certain information about the customer and to provide appropriate disclosure about the risks of futures trading based upon that information.
Disclosure is to be delivered before the customer opens an account.
The rule says that at a minimum, the Member has to obtain the customer's true name, address, principal occupation or business, current estimated overall income and net worth, age and some sense of the customer's previous investment and commodity futures trading experience.
