Before an affiliate of an issuer is permitted to sell 10,000 shares of restricted securities, which of the following conditions must be met?

  1. The affiliate must have a holding period of six months.
  2. The company must be traded on a listed stock exchange.
  3. The issuer must notify FINRA of the proposed sale by submitting a Form 144.
  4. The shares to be sold must be less than 10% of the average daily trading volume (ADTV) of the security.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Rule 144 Holding Period: Restricted securities held by affiliates require a six-month holding period before sale, provided the issuer is subject to SEC reporting requirements.

Other Options:

Notification to FINRA (C) is incorrect; Form 144 is submitted to the SEC, not FINRA.

The 10% ADTV limitation (D) applies to the volume of shares sold, not the conditions for sale.


Reference:

SEC Rule 144 (Selling Restricted Securities): S, E, C Rule 144.



Which of the following strategies is best for mitigating the risk of a concentrated position?

  1. Diversification
  2. Use of leverage
  3. Dollar-cost averaging
  4. Dividend reinvestment

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Diversification: Spreads investments across multiple securities, industries, or asset classes to reduce exposure to a single security or sector.

Other Options:

Use of Leverage: Increases, not decreases, portfolio risk.

Dollar-Cost Averaging: Reduces timing risk but does not address concentration.

Dividend Reinvestment: Enhances returns but does not mitigate concentration risk.


Reference:

SEC Guidance on Diversification: SEC Diversification.

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is required to invest what percentage of total assets in real- estate-related assets to maintain favorable tax treatment?

  1. At least 50% of total assets
  2. At least 75% of total assets
  3. At least 90% of total assets
  4. 100% of assets

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

REIT Requirements: REITs must invest at least 75% of their total assets in real estate to qualify for favorable tax treatment under IRS regulations.

90% Rule: Refers to the distribution requirement for taxable income, not asset allocation.

100% Rule: There is no requirement to allocate 100% of assets to real estate.


Reference:

IRS Publication 542 (Real Estate Investment Trusts): I, R, S REIT Guidelines.

Treasury Bonds: Issued by the federal government.
