QUESTION: 248

Under the Uniform Securities Act, a state administrator may allow an investment advisor the authority to trade in a client account, but the advisor may not be allowed to remove client funds and securities from the account. This is known as:


  1. Absolute option

  2. Consent to process

  3. Consent to authority


Answer: D


Explanation:

Investment advisors often have their clients open accounts at a broker-dealer so that the advisor does not have to go through the process of obtaining state approval in order to take

custody of client funds and securities. The advisor will then receive discretionary authority from the client in order to trade in the account on their behalf. The discretionary authority

received is typically "limited discretion" whereby the advisor may transact in the account but is not allowed to remove funds or securities from the account


QUESTION: 249

  3. $10,000 fine

  4. $5,000 fine


Answer: B


Explanation:

Under the Uniform Securities Act, a criminal violation exists if the person willfully violates

a provision of the Act. The maximum penalty for each violation is a $5,000 fine, three years in prison, or both. If the person proves that he or she had no prior knowledge of the provision violated, there will be no prison sentence imposed. The state administrator does not have the authority to impose criminal penalties - the courts in each state take these actions

  3. A company that is accused of committing fraud and is exonerated of all charges is then required to register with the SEC

  4. A company that meets the defintion of an investment advisor and is registered at the federal level is not subject to the anti-fraud provisions of the Act


Answer: B


Explanation:

If a company is exempt from federal registration, it still is subject to the anti-fraud

provisions - no matter what the exemption - anti-fraud rules apply to all investment advisor at either the state or federal level


QUESTION: 251

Heatprod Investment Advisors is opening a new account for Mrs Mathers, but the firm does

not want to be responsible for custody of her securities. To keep her as a customer, they try an alternate solution. Mrs Mathers will open an account at a local broker-dealer and then give written discretionary authority to Heatprod. This will allow Heatprod to execute transactions in her broker account. Is this legal?


  1. Possibly, unless Mrs Mathers offers the broker reciprocal advantages

  2. No, it is strictly prohibited for a broker-dealer and investment advisor to cross transact

  3. Mrs Mathers could face charges if caught

  4. Yes, investment advisors often do this


Answer: D


Explanation:

This is a perfectly legal and common solution to the challenge. Under the Uniform

Securities Act, investment advisors may keep custody of client funds and securities. However, in order to do so, the advisory firm must obtain approval from the state administrator first. In order to avoid going through the administrator, the advisor may obtain written discretionary authority to trade in the client's account at the broker-dealer. The client funds or securities are held at the broker-dealer for a fee, and everyone is satisfied
