All of the following publishers would likely qualify for the exclusion from investment adviser registration EXCEPT:
- AA subscription-based newsletter that updates content only when market conditions change✓ Correct answer
- BA newspaper with fixed weekly publication of general investment commentary
- CA quarterly magazine with impersonal investment analysis and recommendations
- DA website that publishes a fixed monthly schedule of general investment content
Explanation
Why A — A subscription-based newsletter that updates content only when market conditions change
To qualify for the exclusion, publications must be regular and not based on market events (USA 401(c)). A’s updating only on market changes fails regularity; B, C, and D meet the standard.
