Series 63 practice questionmediumImpact of merger on existing registrations
Under the Uniform Securities Act successor-registration provision, which statement is TRUE after a registered investment adviser changes its form of organization?
- AThe successor is automatically registered for 45 days without filing
- BThe successor may file an application to continue the predecessor's registration for the unexpired period without an additional fee✓ Correct answer
- CThe successor must always wait 30 days before conducting business
- DThe predecessor's registration transfers permanently without any filing
Explanation
Why B — The successor may file an application to continue the predecessor's registration for the unexpired period without an additional fee
The Uniform Securities Act permits a successor to a registered adviser to continue the predecessor's registration for the unexpired period by filing the required successor application. The statute does not create the 45-day and 30-day bridge asserted in the original item.
