Which records are NOT required to be maintained in the trust fund records?

Personal expenses of the brokerage are not required to be maintained in the trust fund records because trust funds are intended to be separate from the brokerage's operational funds. Trust fund records should accurately reflect all transactions related to client funds, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of those funds.

In contrast, records such as the party from whom funds were received, the date funds were deposited, and the monthly balance of the trust account are all critical for maintaining clear and precise accounting of client funds. These records help ensure compliance with legal standards and protect both clients and the brokerage from potential disputes or discrepancies. Thus, personal expenses, which do not relate to client transactions, are excluded from trust fund records.
