Definition of Segregation

Segregation is the physical separation of customer and firm assets.

Applying "Segregation" to Securities Exams:

In 1934 Congress passed the Exchange Act which expressly prohibited the commingling of firm and customer assets. As a result firm’s are required to segregate customer’s assets from their proprietary assets, as well as from any agent’s assets.
