A registered representative (RR) owns 500 shares of a thinly traded security. A customer of the firm calls the RR to place a sell order for 10,000 shares of the same security. The RR sells his shares before entering the customer's order to sell.
Which of the following activities has the RR just engaged in?

  1. Selling away
  2. Front running
  3. Insider trading
  4. Market manipulation

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Front Running Definition: Occurs when a broker executes a personal trade ahead of a customer's order to profit from the anticipated market movement.

Thinly Traded Security: Front running is particularly impactful in low-liquidity securities.

Other Options:

Selling Away: Involves unapproved securities transactions outside the employing firm.

Insider Trading: Involves trading on material non-public information.

Market Manipulation: Encompasses activities like wash trading or spoofing, not specific to this scenario.


Reference:

FINRA Rule 5270 (Front Running of Block Transactions): F, I, N, R, A Rule 5270.



Under SEC Regulation D, which of the following parties is considered an accredited investor?

  1. A person whose joint income with their spouse exceeds $200,000 in each of the two most recent years and who has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.
  2. A person whose net worth, excluding the net equity in their primary residence, exceeds $500,000 at the time of purchase.
  3. A person whose net worth, excluding the net equity in their primary residence, exceeds $1 million at the time of purchase.
  4. A charitable organization, partnership, or corporation whose assets exceed $2.5 million.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Definition of Accredited Investor: As per SEC Regulation D, Rule 501, an accredited investor includes:

Individuals with a net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding primary residence equity).

Individuals with an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) for the past two years.

Elimination of Incorrect Answers:

$500,000 threshold (option B) is too low to qualify under Regulation D.

Option D is incorrect as it requires assets of $5 million, not $2.5 million.


Reference:

SEC Regulation D, Rule 501 (Accredited Investor Definition): SEC Regulation D.



Which of the following is the primary risk of using asset allocation models without periodic rebalancing?

  1. Inflation
  2. Marketability
  3. Overweighting
  4. Interest rate risk

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Rebalancing: Ensures that a portfolio remains aligned with its target allocation. Without rebalancing, outperforming assets can become overweighted, increasing exposure to specific risks.

Incorrect Options:

Inflation: Impacts purchasing power but isn't tied to rebalancing.

Marketability: Refers to liquidity and isn't linked to allocation models.

Interest Rate Risk: Relates to fixed-income investments and isn't directly addressed by allocation models.


Reference:

SEC Investor Bulletin on Asset Allocation: SEC Asset Allocation.

Option D: Reporting is mandatory irrespective of internal investigations.


Reference:

FINRA Rule 4530 (Reporting Requirements): F, I, N, R, A Rule 4530.
