Rich Writewell wants to begin publishing an independent weekly financial newsletter that will provide investment recommendations as well as other financial news items to the general public. Rich hopes that his newsletter will achieve nationwide circulation within a few months.Which of the following statements is true?
Answer(s): D
Rich will not have to register as an investment adviser since he is publishing a legitimate financial newsletter that will be distributed to the general public. The definition of the term “investment adviser” excludes publishers of bona fide business or financial publications that are published regularly and have general circulation.
Erin is a registered agent who works for SecureMoney Brokers-dealers. One of her clients, Mrs. McTurk, is a recently-widowed woman who relies on Erin for advice about her investment portfolio. Mrs. McTurk reminds Erin of her own grandmother, and she is happy to provide guidance within the sphere of her own knowledge.Based on these facts, which of the following statements is true?
Neither SecureMoney Broker-dealers nor Erin must register as an investment adviser based on the facts provided since neither the broker-dealer nor Erin is receiving any compensation for the advice Erin is giving Mrs. McTurk. In this instance, the advice provided is considered incidental to the broker-dealer business.
Which of the following would not fall under the classification of “institutional investor”?
Answer(s): C
Nuering Investment Advisers would not fall under the classification of “institutional investor.” Institutional investors are defined as banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, some pension plans, and broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Investment advisers are not part of this group.
Which of the following is an example of a non-issuer transaction?
Answer(s): B
When Jose buys a 10-year bond that has 6 years remaining to maturity, it is a non-issuer transaction since he is buying it in the secondary market from another investor, and Progress Energy does not benefit from the transaction. If a firm receives money when its securities are sold, it is considered an issuer transaction; otherwise it is a non-issuer transaction. When Progress Energy originally issued the bond, it had ten years to maturity, and Progress Energy received the proceeds from the bond issue; that was an issuer transaction. When Jose buys the bond, another investor is receiving the proceeds. When IBM sells new bonds, regardless of whether it is to the general public or to an institutional investor, IBM receives the proceeds from the transaction, so it is an issuer transaction. Similarly, when a firm that is already publicly held, like Google, sells more shares, the firm receives money from the sale, just as when a firm that is going public for the first time, like NewCorp, receives the proceeds generated through the IPO. Those are examples of issuer transactions.
Which of the following is not considered to be a security, as defined by the Uniform Securities Act (USA)?
The Uniform Securities Act excludes annuity contracts wherein an insurance company promises either to pay a fixed sum, either in a lump amount or through periodic payments, from its definition of a security. Debentures, CDs, and option contracts are all classified as securities under the USA.
Which of the following scenarios would not be considered a “sale,” as defined by the Uniform Securities Act (USA)?I) Yoshito owned shares of Minnow Corporation and received shares of Whale Corporation from Whale when it merged with Minnow.II) Olivia’s uncle, an agent with SecureMoney Brokers, sold Olivia ten call options on the stock of Microsoft.III) Hans purchased a bond of Indebted Corporation that had detachable warrants and subsequently sold the warrants.IV) Tom pledged some shares of stock he owned personally to secure a business loan for his company.
Neither Scenario I nor Scenario IV describes sales as defined by the USA. When an investor receives securities from Company X when Company X merges with a company in which the investor owns stock, Company X is not considered to have sold those securities to the investor. Likewise, when a person uses securities he owns as collateral for a loan, the USA does not consider this to be a sale of the securities.
Jeremy Sly considered himself somewhat of an inventor. The only problem was that his day job interfered with his opportunity to exercise his creativity. He came up with a plan to get outside investors to support his inventive activities. To this end, he produced and distributed a brochure advertising partnership interests with a guaranteed return on investment of at least 15% after the first 12 months, based on what he had allegedly generated from his other (non-existent) inventions.Given these facts, is Jeremy guilty of any security violations under the Uniform Securities Act (USA)?
Yes. Jeremy is guilty of security violations under the Uniform Securities Act when he provides misleading information when offering securities for sale, even if no securities are actually sold. Partnership interests fall under the definition of securities, and Jeremy’s claim to have generated a return of at least 15% on other inventions that he never created is an absolute falsehood.
