- AAn IAR working for both an affiliated investment adviser and affiliated broker-dealer
- BAn IAR representing two unaffiliated advisers simultaneously✓ Correct answer
- CAn IAR teaching finance at a university
- DAn IAR holding insurance and securities licenses with the same firm
Explanation
Why B — An IAR representing two unaffiliated advisers simultaneously
Dual registration with two unaffiliated firms always requires Administrator approval (USA §401(b)). A is not dual registration for IAR status, C is outside IAR activities, and D is within the same entity so does not count.
