CJMPS is a registered broker-dealer and member of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth (for individuals), and any other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
The Federal Reserve and the SEC require that CJMPS obtain your consent before we can share nonpublic customer information with or obtain such information from our bank or thrift affiliates, including their credit evaluation of you. Unless and until you notify CJMPS in writing to the contrary, you shall be deemed to have consented to the disclosure of nonpublic information between CJMPS and its bank or thrift affiliates, to the extent permitted by law.
CJMPS has policies and procedures in place reasonably designed to prevent the unauthorized use and disclosure of material, non-public information about securities issuers, pending research reports and other confidential data. These policies are intended to ensure that all information provided by CJMPS to others is done so appropriately and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
BrokerCheck provides investors with the ability to research the professional backgrounds, business practices, and conduct of FINRA-registered brokerage firms and brokers. In connection with this program, investors may call the BrokerCheck Hotline at (800) 289-9999 and visit the FINRA website at BrokerCheck - Find a broker, investment or financial advisor. An investor brochure that includes information describing the FINRA BrokerCheck Program is available from either of these sources.
SEC Rule 15c3-5 requires broker-dealers that access or provide access to exchanges or alternative trading systems to establish, document, and maintain a system of risk management controls that are reasonably designed to manage the financial, regulatory, and other risks in connection with market access. CJMPS has developed controls that may pause or reject select orders that exceed certain pre-determined risk parameters. For certain paused orders, CJMPS will determine if it is appropriate to send the orders to the market based upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, order size, price, and volume considerations.
If a client designates an order for an institutional account (an "institutional order") as "not held" or does not designate the order as "held" or "not held," CJMPS will handle the order on a "not held" basis. If a client designates an institutional order as "held," CJMPS may reject the order.
CJMPS believes that handling an institutional order on a "not held" basis allows us to "work" clients' orders using our judgment and discretion as to the price at which, the time when, or the manner in which such orders will be represented on, exposed to, or executed by a venue to achieve a high-quality execution.
CJMPS appreciates the ongoing dialogue with our clients concerning the handling of their orders. If you have any questions, or do not wish for your orders to be handled in the above-referenced fashion, please contact your CJMPS sales representative.

Rule 605 requires "market centers" that trade National Market System securities to make available standardized, monthly reports containing statistical information about "covered order" executions. Rule 605 is intended to promote visibility and competition in order execution quality, particularly with respect to execution price and speed. The rule requires, among other things, that the reports be prepared in an electronic format available for downloading from an Internet website that is free and readily accessible to the public. The disclosures required by Rule 605 do not encompass all of the factors that may be important to clients in evaluating the order routing practices of a broker-dealer. In addition, any particular market center's statistics will encompass varying types of orders routed by different broker-dealers on behalf of customers with a wide range of objectives. Accordingly, the statistical information required by Rule 605 alone does not create a reliable basis to address whether any particular broker-dealer obtained the most favorable terms under the circumstances for customer orders. Please direct any questions you may have to your Sales Representative.
Rule 606 requires broker-dealers that route customer orders in equities and option securities to publish quarterly reports that provide a general overview of their routing practices. In this report, the venues to which non-directed customer orders in U.S. exchange-listed equity securities and options were routed for execution must be disclosed, as well as the nature of any relationship the broker-dealer has with each venue. The purpose of this report is to provide the public with information on how broker-dealers route orders, enable the evaluation of order routing practices and foster competition among market participants.
Any customer of CJMPS may request, free of charge, information on any of the customer's orders routed for execution by CJMPS in the six months prior to the request. Specifically, any customer may request the identity of the venue to which any of the customer's orders was routed for execution, whether the order was a directed or non-directed order, and the time of any resulting transaction. In addition, hard copies of CJMPS quarterly order routing reports prepared pursuant to SEC Rule 606 are available free of charge upon request.

CJMPS does not engage in any agreements for payment for routing order flow to or receiving order flow from any designated exchanges, market makers, broker-dealers or market centers; nor does it engage in any other arrangements that are required to be disclosed as defined in SEC rule 10b-10(d)(9). Certain market centers offer cash rebates for orders that provide liquidity to their books and charge fees for orders that extract liquidity from their books. Occasionally, the value of the credits received by CJMPS from one or more such market centers may exceed the amount charged to CJMPS. Under these limited circumstances, such payments would constitute payment for order flow.
Rule 5320 generally prohibits a member firm that accepts and holds a customer order from trading for its own account at terms that would satisfy the customer order, unless the member immediately thereafter executes the customer order at the same or better price than it traded for its own account.
There are certain exceptions to the Rule. Not-held orders are outside the scope of the Rule. Large Orders and Institutional Account Exceptions Large orders (orders of 10,000 or more shares with a total value of $100,000 or more) and/or orders by institutional accounts are excepted from the requirements of Rule 5320, provided that notice is provided to the customer and the customer is provided a meaningful opportunity to opt in to the Rule 5320 protections with respect to all or any portion of its order. Institutional accounts and persons placing orders for 10,000 shares or more not otherwise subject to the protections afforded by Rule 5320 may "opt in" to the Rule 5320 protections by providing written notice (i) with respect to any particular order, at the time of placing an order to the representative taking your order, and (ii) with respect to all orders for your account, to Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, Attn. CJMPS Compliance, 28 State Street, Boston, MA 02109.
For customers who trade options or who receive options related sales literature, the various Exchanges require that those customers be provided a current copy of the Options Disclosure Document (ODD) issued by the OCC as well as any supplements. Information on the characteristics and risks of standardized options is furnished by The Options Clearing Corporation and can be accessed here.
CJMPS does not accept Good-Til-Cancelled orders from customers of its institutional trading desk; CJMPS accepts only day orders from them. If such a customer sends CJMPS a Good-Til-Cancelled order, it will be treated by CJMPS as a day order in all respects. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy and practice, please contact your CJMPS representative.

In the event of a significant business disruption, CJMPS will employ a business disruption plan that may involve certain employees being relocated to alternate locations. Depending on the severity of the disruption, designated employees have been selected to contact certain customers and to provide them with information regarding their account or where they may be able to access information regarding their account. The CJMP Plan provides for two scenarios: business disruption to its on-site location, by whatever means, or a business disruption of the markets and/or the area surrounding its location. During either scenario, CJMP plans to continue doing business and in the first scenario, its planned recovery time is expected to be within reasonable measures and in the second scenario.
CJMPS intends to notify its customers by phone or email and such notification will include how customers can access their account and notification of the appropriate regulatory bodies. Customers may obtain plans by requesting a written copy of the plan by mail.
