FINRA Series 63 (NASAA)

Category - Series 63

Elizabeth is the owner of Lizbeth Investment Advisers, a small, state-registered investment advisory firm. She has decided that her firm needs a niche and has learned that a consulting group is coming to the area and offering a 3-day seminar on asset allocation for senior citizens offered by Advantage for Retirement Persons (ARP). The seminar will cost $1,000 per individual, but after attending the seminar, each attendee will receive a certificate verifying their involvement in the program. Elizabeth decides this is the niche she has been looking for and signs up herself and her three investment adviser representatives for the program. After attending the seminar and receiving their certificates, Elizabeth and her team can
  1. represent themselves as certified senior citizen investment advisers.
  2. have the words “Senior-Citizen Investment Specialists” printed on their business cards.
  3. indicate that they are certified by the ARP program since money was paid for their attendance.
  4. do none of the above.
Explanation
Answer: D - After attending the ARP seminars on asset allocation for senior citizens, Elizabeth and her team cannot represent themselves as certified senior citizen investment advisers, print “Senior-Citizen Investment Specialists” on their business cards, or indicate that they are certified by the ARP program. Under the NASAA model rules, their attendance does not entitle them to say they are in any way especially certified to serve senior citizens. The attendance certification they received does not have any competency requirements attached.
