Series 63 practice questionmediumNotice filings—timing and scope
A mutual fund begins selling shares in State Q before making the required notice filing and paying fees. Which is LEAST likely as a consequence?
- AState Q imposes a late fee or penalty.
- BState Q rescinds every sale of the mutual fund shares in the state.✓ Correct answer
- CState Q requires the fund to make the filing and pay the fee retroactively.
- DThe Administrator issues a stop order until compliance is achieved.
Explanation
Why B — State Q rescinds every sale of the mutual fund shares in the state.
States may impose penalties for late filing and halt further sales until compliance (USA Sec. 201), but rescinding every sale is rare and draconian—least likely unless fraud is involved.
