- In some cases, Apex Clearing Corp may choose to send the security to the transfer agent to be transferred into the name of Apex Clearing Corp. In either case, the security will be restricted from trading at the account level until the transfer has processed.
- Any sale of the security initiated prior to receipt of the security and completion of the transfer process may be bought in at Apex Clearing Corp's discretion and any loss charged to the client.
- No journal entries to other accounts will be permitted until the transfer process has been completed. Ally Invest may request additional documentation such as proof of purchase or origins of the security.
- Exceptions may be granted if additional assets in the account mitigate the risk associated with the trading activity in these securities. Those exceptions will need to be requested of and granted by Apex Clearing Corp's management.
