When can an individual legally start selling mutual funds?
Answer(s): B
An individual can legally sell mutual funds only after receiving notification of registration from the securities administrator, not merely after completing exams or filing applications. The feedback from the document states:"Despite receiving notification of successful completion of the required proficiency examination, filing a registration application and paying the required fee, an individual is not officially registered to sell mutual funds until notice has been received from the applicable securities administrator."
Chapter 17 Mutual Fund Dealer RegulationLearning Domain: Ethics, Compliance and Mutual Fund Regulations
Karen works Monday to Wednesday for a member of the MFDA as a dealing representative and Thursday and Friday as a language instructor at a local college. Client orders received on Thursdays and Fridays are held until Karen returns to work the following week. What condition of dual employment is violated under these circumstances?
Answer(s): C
Holding client orders until the following week violates the requirement for continuous service to clients under dual employment conditions. The feedback from the document states:"A mutual fund dealing representative who works for or is sponsored by a member of the MFDA may have, and continue in, another gainful occupation, provided that the dealer establishes and maintains procedures to ensure continuous service to clients. In this example, Karen's clients are not receiving continuous service."
A married couple is opening a spousal RRSP account in the name of the wife. The dealing representative gathers the information required on the NAAF, including the wife's name, social insurance number, permanent address, and investment objectives. The representative also gathers KYC information for both and informs them that leveraging is not permitted with respect to RRSP accounts. Which information was not required?
Answer(s): D
For a spousal RRSP, KYC information is required only for the account holder (the wife) and those with trading authority, not the contributing spouse (the husband), who has no financial interest in the account. The feedback from the document states:"The investment experience and knowledge of all individuals who have trading authority over the account should be obtained, as well as KYC information for anyone with a financial interest in the account. For spousal RRSPs, the contributing spouse does not have a financial interest in the account, so KYC information is required for the non-contributing spouse only."
A mutual fund sales representative receives a client's purchase order for equity mutual funds and confirms that the order is appropriate based on the client's recorded investment knowledge and risk tolerance. The client explains that she had inherited the funds from a family member. The client states her investment objective to be long term. The representative records this information and processes the order. What the representative doesn't know is that the client has recently lost her job and is living on unemployment insurance. What step did the representative need to take in order to uphold her duty of care?
The representative failed to verify that the client's KYC information was current, which is critical for assessing suitability, especially given the client's recent job loss. The feedback from the document states:"Standard A - Duty of Care starts with the Know Your Client rule. It is impossible to apply due diligence and assess the suitability of an investment if the client's information has not been updated. Client account documentation should reflect all material information about the client's current status, and should be updated to reflect any material change to the client's status in order to assure suitability of investment recommendations."
Chapter 18 Applying Ethical Standards to What You Have LearnedLearning Domain:Ethics, Compliance and Mutual Fund Regulations
A mutual fund sales representative is under pressure to meet certain sales objectives. However, he consistently ignores these quotas when making client recommendations. Which standard of conduct has he followed?
By ignoring sales quotas and prioritizing client needs, the representative adheres to the standard of putting the client's interests first. The feedback from the document states:"Priority of Client's Interest: The client's interest must be the foremost consideration in all business dealings. In situations where you may have an interest that competes with that of the client, the client's interest must be given priority."
What personal information must be obtained from clients opening a non-registered account?Date of birthSocial insurance numberPermanent addressFull legal name
For non-registered accounts, the mandatory personal information includes the client's full legal name and permanent address, while date of birth and social insurance number are recommended but not required. The feedback from the document states:"The first step as a dealing representative is to obtain a client's personal data including full legal name, permanent and mailing address, social insurance number and date of birth. While a permanent address is mandatory, providing a different mailing address is optional. Neither the social insurance number nor date of birth are mandatory for non-registered accounts, but both are highly recommended."
Chapter 17 Mutual Fund Dealer RegulationLearning Domain: Ethics, Compliance andMutual Fund Regulations
A husband wishes to transfer some of his non-registered mutual fund holdings to his wife, but wants to maintain trading authority over the transferred assets. He also wishes to ensure that should she die, the gift he is making will revert to him. What is the appropriate account type?
A joint account allows the husband to retain trading authority and includes the right of survivorship, ensuring the assets revert to him if his wife dies. The feedback from the document states:"The husband would have no financial interest in a client name account, registered in his wife's name only. A nominee account would transfer trading authority to a dealer or third-party administrator. In a tenants in common account, each spouse would have trading authority over his/her portion of the account. Therefore, the husband's best option would be to open a joint account and retain full trading authority. A joint account would also offer the right of survivorship, which is not a feature of a tenants in common account."
Jack and Jill hold a mutual fund account as tenants in common. What conditions would apply to their account?Should either die, full ownership of the account would pass to the otherEach would be the owner of 50% of the account's assetsEither could issue trading instructions on all account assetsEach would be required to provide KYC information
Answer(s): A
In a tenants in common account, each owner holds a pro-rata share (e.g., 50%) and can only issue instructions for their portion, with no right of survivorship. KYC information is required for both owners. The feedback from the document states:"If more than one person owns an account and it is not specifically identified as being a joint account, each owner owns a pro-rata share of the account, unless ownership is divided in another manner and noted on the account. Where an account is held as tenants in common, there is no right of survivorship and each owner, unless otherwise specified, can only give instructions with regard to the pro-rata portion of the account."
