A broker-dealer firm registered with the SEC has its primary office in State A. One of the firm's registered agents wishes to contact an existing retail client who is temporarily vacationing in State B for two weeks to execute a trade. Under the Uniform Securities Act and state Blue Sky laws, which rule governs the agent's registration status in State B?
- The agent is not required to register in State B because the existing client is only temporarily present in that state.Cevap
- BThe agent must register in State B prior to making contact because federal SEC registration does not automatically grant state-level exemption for retail solicitation.
- CThe agent is exempt from registration in State B because FINRA maintains primary regulatory authority over state securities Administrators.
- DThe agent must file a notice filing with State B's Administrator within 15 days after executing the transaction.
Cevap
The agent is not required to register in State B because the existing client is only temporarily present in that state.
Under the Uniform Securities Act and state Blue Sky laws, an agent registered in their home state is exempt from registration in another state if contacting an existing client who is temporarily residing or vacationing in that state. Because the client is only in State B for two weeks, no state registration in State B is triggered.
