Joe Romeo is a broker-dealer registered with the state. He has recently hired Betty Buxom as his administrative assistant. As part of her duties, he has given her the responsibility for effecting the purchases and sales of securities for some of his firm’s smaller accounts. Ms. Buxom has never applied for nor been granted registration as a broker-dealer or agent. Based on these facts,
Answer(s): C
Since Joe Romeo has allowed Betty Buxom to execute trades, a duty that can legally be performed only by a registered broker-dealer or agent, the Administrator may elect to revoke or suspend Joe Romeo’s registration, and Joe may also face civil and criminal penalties. Ms. Buxom needed to be registered as an agent prior to effecting any transactions in the securities markets; there is no grace period. The Administrator is not required to take any action, however.
Until yesterday Maddie was a registered agent employed by the broker-dealer, QuikDeals. Yesterday afternoon, issues that had been brewing between her and another employee of the firm came to a head, and Maddie impulsively quit her job.At this point,
When Maddie quit her job, her status as a state-registered securities agent was automatically terminated, and she will need to file a new application for registration with the Administrator upon obtaining a position with another broker-dealer. If she does so within thirty days, her registration will become effective as soon as she has filed her application and paid her application fee. While she is required to notify the Administrator that she has terminated her employment with QuikDeals, there is no requirement that she contact any of her clients at QuikDeals.
Maddie, a registered agent affiliated with broker-dealer QuikDeals, quit her job on the spur of the moment. Under the guidelines of the Uniform Securities Act (USA), who is responsible for notifying the Administrator?
Answer(s): D
Under the guidelines of the USA, when Maddie quits her job as a registered agent with QuikDeals, both QuikDeals and Maddie are responsible for notifying the Administrator. Both the broker-dealer and the agent involved are required to notify the Administrator whenever an agent begins or ends her association with the broker-dealer.
Trevor is currently a registered agent in the state of Connecticut where he has been employed by Connect & Company, a broker-dealer that is registered in Connecticut and has subsidiary operations in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. Trevor has moved to Massachusetts and is now associated with one of Connect’s subsidiaries, a broker-dealer registered in the state. Trevor has applied to the Administrator of Massachusetts for registration as an agent.Can Trevor execute purchases and sales for clients while his registration is still pending?
It depends. Because he is a registered agent in another state and the broker-dealer he is now affiliated with is registered in the state of Massachusetts, Trevor can execute purchases and sales, but only for existing clients while his registration with the Massachusetts Administrator is still pending and only for sixty days. This assumes, of course, Trevor has no violations that would restrict him from registering in Massachusetts.
Ms. Ding is an administrative assistant to the manager of a mutual fund. Most of her day is spent entering data onto a spreadsheet for her boss and answering phone calls. Some of the calls require her to provide information about the some of the fund’s financial aspects, such as its closing net asset value on the previous day.What type of registration does Ms. Ding require in order to perform her duties?
Since Ms. Ding is an administrative assistant who is merely providing some information about the fund and is not engaging in the purchase or sale of the fund shares, she does not need to apply for any type of registration. An employee who simply provides price and/or some other pertinent information to the public, but who does not engage in the purchase or sale of securities to the public and does not receive a commission based on the sale of securities is not considered to be an agent or an investment adviser.
Which of the following statements about agents is (are) false?
The statement that an agent must demonstrate a specific minimum level of financial stability for his registration application to be accepted is false. The Administrator may require an agent to post a bond, but there are no specific minimum financial requisites that must be met. The Administrator also has the right to terminate an agent’s registration if the agent becomes bankrupt. Both the agent and his broker-dealer affiliate are required to inform the Administrator whenever there is a change in the agent’s personal information, such as a name change or a change of address.
Which of the following entities must sign a “consent to service of process,” thereby allowing the Administrator to receive legal documents that are meant to be served to the entity in place of that entity?I) agentsII) investment advisersIII) investment adviser representativesIV) broker-dealers
Agents, investment advisers, investment adviser representatives, and broker-dealers must all sign a consent to service of process, allowing the Administrator to receive legal documents in their stead. The consent to service of process must accompany the application for registration with the state or the documentation provided with a notice filing when permitted.
Which of the following would fall under the definition of “agent,” as defined by the Uniform Securities Act (USA)?
None of the selections describe an “agent,” as defined by the Uniform Securities Act (USA.)Joe is not executing trades for clients of the broker-dealer, and clerical assistants are not classified as agents. Agents must be individuals, so a firm like Freedom broker-dealers would not be considered an agent. A bank is not an individual, and banks are even excluded from the definition of a broker-dealer.

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
