- BHas more than five individual clients in the state during the past 12 months✓ Correct answer
- COnly advises investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
- DDoes not solicit business in the state
Explanation
Why B — Has more than five individual clients in the state during the past 12 months
If a federal covered adviser has a place of business or more than five individual clients in a state, it typically must notice file there (USA Sec. 405). C is incorrect because advising registered investment companies may exempt from notice filing, and A and D describe scenarios not requiring notice filing.
