Series 63 practice questioneasyMisrepresentation of Registration Status
An agent in State X tells a client, 'This security is registered with the Administrator, so it is guaranteed to be safe.' Is this statement permissible under the Uniform Securities Act?
- AYes, because registered securities are less risky
- BNo, because it misrepresents the effect of registration✓ Correct answer
- CYes, as long as the security is truly registered
- DNo, because only federal registration guarantees safety
Explanation
Why B — No, because it misrepresents the effect of registration
Stating or implying that registration implies safety or endorsement is prohibited under USA Section 501. Registration does not guarantee safety (A, C), and federal registration also does not guarantee safety (D).
