Series 63 practice questionmediumChurning - Multiple Agents
Two agents servicing the same account independently execute frequent trades, each claiming the other is responsible. Under the USA, which action is LEAST likely for the Administrator to take?
- AInitiate an investigation of both agents
- BHold only the broker-dealer responsible✓ Correct answer
- CPossibly discipline both agents
- DReview the commission structure as a contributing factor
Explanation
Why B — Hold only the broker-dealer responsible
While the broker-dealer may be held responsible, the Administrator is highly likely to investigate and hold the agents accountable as well (USA 412, 401(c)). B is the least likely to occur without also investigating the agents. A, C, and D are routine Administrator responses.
