An investment adviser representative advises a client in a low income tax bracket to purchase municipal
securities. Which of the following statements best describes this action?
a. The advice by the representative is unethical
b. Advice concerning tax-free securities is excluded from the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940
c. The action constitutes fraud
d. The Administrator has no jurisdiction over municipal securities unless the securities are out-of-state
bonds - a. The advice by the representative is unethical
The action taken by the representative is unethical rather than fraudulent. Municipal securities provide
federally exempt interest income. This is advantageous to individuals in higher tax brackets.
Recommending the security to an individual in a lower tax bracket is not suitable. There is no indication
that an intent to deceive the client was employed; therefore, an assertion of fraud is inappropriate.
