As per the Securities and Exchange Commission, The Commission has amended the custody rule in accordance with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The amendments modernize the rule by bringing it in line with modern custodial practices and requiring advisers who have custody of client funds or securities to keep those assets in the custody of broker-dealers, banks, or other qualified custodians. The amended rule also defines "custody" and illustrates situations in which an adviser has custody of client funds or securities. The amendments are intended to improve client asset protection while reducing the burden on advisers who have custody of client asset.
