Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning the posting of
bonds by a broker-dealer?
A. There is no bond requirement if the broker-dealer does not have
custody or discretionary authority
B. There is no bond requirement if the broker-dealer is registered in
another state

broker-dealer
A. There is no bond requirement if the broker-dealer does not have
custody or discretionary authority
Not every broker-dealer maintains custody of client assets. Some,
for example, employ clearing firms to take care of this
responsibility.
The Administrator may require broker-dealers to post bonds if they
have custody of, or discretionary authority over, client funds or
securities.
The bond is waived if the broker-dealer's net capital exceeds a
specified amount. The Administrator may determine this amount.

A company is conducting an IPO. Its shares will be listed on Nasdaq.
For how long does a broker-dealer that is part of the selling group
need to make the prospectus available to investors?
A. 25 days
B. 10 days
C. 90 days
D. 40 days
,A. 25 days
All investors who purchase new issues must receive prospectuses,
which may be made available electronically. This obligation to
provide a prospectus continues for 25 days after the effective date
for securities that will be listed on a national exchange or Nasdaq,
which is the situation described in the question.
A firm that sells a new issue in the aftermarket shortly after it
begins trading may also be required to give prospectuses to its
customers.
For secondary offerings of securities that will trade over-the-counter
(securities that are not eligible to be listed on Nasdaq or other
exchanges), this obligation lasts for 40 days.
It is 90 days if the offering is an IPO. (89653)

account as long as a properly executed (signed) written margin
agreement is obtained promptly afterward.
A broker-dealer may charge a client a higher-than-normal
commission under certain circumstances, such as when a security is
particularly difficult to obtain, as long as this is disclosed to the
client.
An agent may open a joint account with a client as long as she has
the written permission of both the broker-dealer and the client.

, When you encounter a question that is asking you to find a
statement that is NOT TRUE, the question is asking you to identify
the statement that is FALSE. Since this is a Roman Numeral style
question, it is possible that there are more than one FALSE
statement. In this question, there are two.
If a registered broker-dealer's or investment adviser's ownership
structure is changed (from a partnership to a corporation, for
example), or is bought or sold by another person, it is permitted to
file an application for registration as a successor firm.
According to the Act, this can be accomplished whether or not the
successor firm was in existence prior to the filing and is effective for
the unexpired portion of the year.
A filing fee is not required when the application is submitted.
