5.3 Chains and transmission

5.3.1 General

A chain of reporting occurs when a Firm or Investment Firm does not complete a transaction itself but sends the order to another Firm or Investment Firm for completion. It includes the situation where

(i) a Firm or Investment Firm sends its own order to a Firm for completion;

(ii) a Firm or Investment Firm receives an order from its client and sends it to another Firm or Investment Firm for completion; or

(iii) makes a decision to acquire or dispose of a financial instrument in accordance with a discretionary mandate provided to it by its client and places it with another Firm or Investment Firm.
