Abstract

FINRA Rule 17a-4 mandates a 6-year WORM split by 3/6-year clocks. Keep first 2 years on WORM or shift cold broker records to $0.31/GB re-archival to cut costs in 2026. Independent technical note mirroring the canonical version: https://fcloud.biz/blog/broker-record-keeping-finra-rule-17a-4-6-year-worm-vs-031gb-re-archival-pay-or-avoid-in-2026.php
