Certified instructors verify every question for 100% accuracy, providing detailed, step-by-step explanations for each.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
If an issuer registers securities with the state, how long can the documentation supplied in the registration statement for those securities be incorporated by reference only into a registration statement for future securities the issuer wants to offer for sale?
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: C
Explanation:
Once an issuer has registered securities with the state, the documentation supplied in that registration statement can be incorporated into the registration statement for future securities the issuer wants to offer for sale by reference only for a period of five years.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
Broker-dealer Small & Associates has received a complaint about one of its agents, Mr. Ari Gaunt. Small & Associates is required to
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: D
Explanation:
Small and Associates must provide the client a written response to the complaint about Mr. Ari Gaunt. The broker-dealer does not need to forward the complaint immediately to the state Administrator, nor is it required to keep the complaint in Mr. Gaunt’s employee file indefinitely.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
Nat Smart was employed as an investment adviser representative and sold many of his clients on a municipal bond fund of which he was fond, telling his clients that the returns earned on it were completely free from federal taxation. Unfortunately, he had some unhappy clients when, at the end of the year, they discovered that they had to pay federal tax on the capital gains earned by the fund when it sold some of the bonds it held. Nat was as surprised as they were.
Based on these facts, which of the following statements is necessarily true?
I. Because Nat was as surprised as they were, he is guiltless.
II. Nat is subject to civil liability payments.
III. Nat will be subject to the criminal penalties for fraud and may spend time in prison.
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: B
Explanation:
Only Selection II is an accurate statement. In telling his clients that the returns earned on a municipal bond fund were totally tax-free, Nat misled the clients, whether intentionally or not. This constitutes fraud, and Nat is, at a minimum subject to civil liability payments, so this is “necessarily” true.
Whether or not Nat will be subject to criminal penalties for fraud and spend time in prison depends on his ability to prove that he had no knowledge that he was misleading his clients.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
An arrangement wherein a terminally ill person sells a second party his life insurance policy at a discount from its face value, giving the buyer the right to the policy’s face value when the seller dies is called a:
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: B
Explanation:
A viatical settlement is an arrangement under which a terminally ill person sells a second party his life insurance policy at a discount from its face value. When the terminally ill person dies, the buyer of the policy receives its face value. Some states consider viatical settlements to be securities, and they have come under the scrutiny of the NASAA since there is a significant potential for fraud in the writing of these contracts.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
To say a security is “exempt,” means that
I. it is exempt from the state’s anti-fraud laws.
II. it is exempt from state registration requirements.
III. any transaction involving it is considered to be an exempt transaction.
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: D
Explanation:
To say a security is “exempt” means only that the security is exempt from state registration requirements. It is not exempt from the state’s anti-fraud laws and may or may not be part of an exempt transaction. That is defined by the transaction.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
Don is a state-registered agent with GetErDone Broker-Dealers. He has three other friends who are licensed agents-Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Huey is also an agent with GetErDone Broker-Dealers. Dewey is an agent with a different firm in the same city, CanDo Broker-Dealers. Louie works for a Broker-Dealer with an office just across the state line.
Don can enter a commission-splitting agreement with
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: A
Explanation:
Don can enter a commission-splitting agreement with Huey only since he is the only one who is also working for GetErDone Broker-Dealers. It is considered unethical to split “commissions, profits or other compensation. . .with any person not also registered as an agent for the same broker-dealer,” under NASAA Model Rules.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
Mr. L. Ranger is an agent for a broker-dealer and has overheard “talk” that a merger between two well-known high-tech companies is about to take place. Mr. Ranger knows that, on average, in these instances the target firm’s price spikes. He calls his client and good friend, Mr. Tonto, and tells him of the rumor, suggesting that Tonto might want to buy shares in the target firm. He tells Mr. Tonto that if the rumor isn’t true, the target firm’s price may not spike at all and may, in fact, decline, and suggests that Mr. Tonto not invest any money he isn’t willing to lose. Mr. Ranger knows that his friend likes to gamble, and decided he wouldn’t be much of a friend if he didn’t inform Tonto of this potential opportunity.
Has Mr. L. Ranger violated any laws or engaged in any prohibited practices?
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: C
Explanation:
No, Mr. Ranger has not violated any laws or engaged in any prohibited practices in his recommendation to Mr. Tonto. He has simply informed Mr. Tonto of the rumor and has told him of the risk involved, and he has not lied or misled Mr. Tonto about the investment. He is also well aware of his friend’s risk tolerance level, so he is not making an unsuitable recommendation. This is not considered insider trading since there is no way Mr. Ranger can know whether or not the rumor is true. Selection A is not true because there can be violations of laws or practices, even if the agent and client are friends.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
Your client calls you with a market order to purchase 500 shares of the stock of Oracle and asks when payment will be due. If today is Wednesday, September 15th, you inform the client that payment is due on
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: A
Explanation:
If your client places an order to purchase 500 shares of Oracle on the open market on Wednesday, September 15th, payment will be due on Monday, September 20th. The settlement date for stock transactions is T + 3, which means the third business day after the trade. Saturday is not a business day.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
An investment adviser or its representative may
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: B
Explanation:
An investment adviser or its representative may exercise discretionary power in the purchase or sale of securities for a client’s account as long as it receives written discretionary authority over the account within 10 business days of the first transaction placed, assuming oral authority has already been given.
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:
A limited power-of-attorney gives the designated person the right to
I. order the sale of an asset owned by the account holder and have a check written to the account holder for the amount of the proceeds.
II. obtain account statements, including tax statements, on behalf of the account holder.
III. order the purchase of an asset for the account holder’s account.
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: C
Explanation:
Only Selections II and III are true. A limited power-of-attorney gives the designated person the right to obtain account statements, including tax statements, on behalf of the account holder and to order the purchase of an asset for the account holder’s account. Only a full (or unlimited) power-of-attorney allows the designated person to withdraw any proceeds from the account.
