Under federal securities laws, a registered representative who passes material nonpublic information to a client can be held liable for insider trading violations even if the representative did not personally execute any trades based on that information.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True

The statement is true because insider trading regulations hold tippers liable for passing material nonpublic information when the recipient trades on that information, regardless of whether the tipper executes trades or profits personally.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the role of the individual passing material nonpublic information.

The registered representative acts as a tipper by sharing material nonpublic information with a client.

Establishing whether material nonpublic information was communicated is the first step in assessing insider trading liability.

2

Evaluate tipper liability rules under federal insider trading regulations.

Liability attaches to both the tipper who discloses the information and the tippee who trades on it.

Personal execution of trades or direct monetary gain by the tipper is not a prerequisite for insider trading liability.
