Free FINRA SIE Real Questions (page: 5)

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.

  1. Prime rate
  2. Discount rate

Explanation:

Federal Funds Rate: The rate at which depository institutions lend reserves to each other overnight. It is set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Discount Rate: Rate the Federal Reserve charges banks for borrowing directly from it.

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.

  1. A revenue bond
  2. A Treasury bond
  3. A corporate bond
  4. A general obligation (GO) bond

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

General Obligation (GO) Bonds: Backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing municipality, relying on its taxing power for repayment.

Revenue Bonds: Supported by revenues from a specific project or source.

Treasury Bonds: Issued by the federal government.

Corporate Bonds: Issued by corporations, not municipalities.


Reference:

SEC Municipal Bond Guide: SEC GO Bonds.
