What Is SEC Form 17HACON?

SEC Form 17HACON is an annual confidential submission type on EDGAR Filing for Form 17-H, the Risk Assessment Report for Brokers and Dealers, filed pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 17h-2T.

This filing is used by covered broker-dealers to report information about their business activities, financial condition, and risks relating to affiliates and material associated persons, as required under the SEC’s risk assessment rules.

Form 17HACON is not a public filing and is intended for regulatory oversight. It is submitted annually, while quarterly Form 17-H reports are submitted under a separate EDGAR submission type.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form 17HACON include:

  • Broker-dealer identifying information and fiscal period covered
  • Risk assessment information required by Form 17-H and Rule 17h-2T
  • Information concerning material associated persons, as applicable
