Series 63: Regulation of Broker-Dealers & Agents
Series 63 practice questionhardHard—Complex Associated Person Scenarios

A junior banker at William Blair assists in structuring a municipal bond issue and attends meetings with institutional buyers, but does not solicit or accept orders. The Administrator would:

  1. ARequire her to register as an agent, because she attends deal meetings.
  2. BNot require her to register, as she does not effect transactions.✓ Correct answer
  3. CRequire her to register only if she is paid a bonus tied to bond sales.
  4. DRequire her to register if she distributes bond prospectuses at meetings.
Explanation

Why BNot require her to register, as she does not effect transactions.

Attendance at meetings and structuring deals do not in themselves meet the USA agent definition (Sec. 401(c)). Registration is triggered by soliciting/accepting orders, not advisory or support roles.
