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 - Answer✔️✔️-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.

referral fee for his efforts. Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding this

arrangement?

I. There must be a written agreement between Othello and Iago.

II. Othello may not pay more than $250 for each client referral.

III. Iago must not have been convicted of any felonies or securities-related

misdemeanors.

IV. Iago must be fingerprinted and a copy filed with the state securities Administrator.

a. I and III only

b. II and III only

c. I, II, and III only

d. I, II, III, and IV - Answer✔️✔️-a. I and III only




In order for someone to act as a solicitor for an investment adviser, three conditions

must be met: (1) the adviser must be licensed (which Othello is), (2) the agreement

between the solicitor and the adviser must be in writing, and (3) the solicitor must not

have been statutorily disqualified from association with an investment adviser either

because he was convicted of a felony or securities-related misdemeanor during the last

10 years or by order of the SEC.

The solicitor must also disclose the nature of his relationship with the adviser to clients.

The exact form that this disclosure must take depends on the nature of the arrangement

between the solicitor and the adviser. Note also that the adviser must retain a copy of

the agreement between it and the solicitor for its records.
