Series 63 Exempt Securities Explained
Series 63 exempt securities questions reward clean separation between exempt securities, exempt transactions, and people who still need registration.

What are exempt securities on the Series 63?
Exempt securities are securities that do not need state registration under the Uniform Securities Act, but anti-fraud rules still apply and the people selling them may still need to be registered.
What to remember
- Exempt security does not mean exempt from anti-fraud rules.
- Do not mix up exempt securities with exempt transactions.
