{{a| | {{a|pb|}}{{c|Prime Brokerage}}The famous [[prime brokerage disclosure annex]] mandated by CASS {{cassprov|9.3}}. Note especially the second part, which refers explicitly to the [[CF10a]]’s personal responsibility for making sure everything is tickety-boo. Which will mean your local [[CF10a]] might be [[inclined]], almost imperceptibly, to obsess madly about your catalogue of [[prime brokerage disclosure annexe]]s at every waking moment (yours or {{sex|hers}}). | ||
Strictly speaking, one only needs a [[PBDA]] if one is [[Reuse|reusing]] or (as our American friends like to say, “[[Rehypothecation|rehypothecating]]” [[client assets]].

The PBDA is one of the great work-creation schemes of the modern age. For some reason the FCA requires prime brokers to tell clients — by way of a formalistic document having no legal effect — exactly the terms on which the PB may reuse their assets, despite the fact that the customer will likely have its own legal department and an external advisor to thrash these things out for it, and whom really are far better placed to provide this information should it suddenly forget. | |||
