Series 63 practice questionhardFalse mutual fund registration claim

- AIt is misleading because mutual funds are not registered at the state level✓ Correct answer
- BIt is accurate, since the fund completed a notice filing
- CIt is not misleading if the fund is registered federally
- DIt is acceptable if the fund filed for registration in State E previously
Explanation
Why A — It is misleading because mutual funds are not registered at the state level
Implying state registration or review is misleading; mutual funds are federal covered securities and not subject to state merits review or registration (USA Sec 18(b)). Notice filing does not equal registration.
