How Does an Arkansas Broker-Dealer Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, an investment advisor or broker-dealer bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the investment advisor, broker-dealer or agent of the issuer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Arkansas Securities Commissioner requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding all provisions of the Arkansas Uniform Securities Agent Law

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your investment advisor, broker-dealer or agent of the issuer bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
