Question

All of the following must be disclosed on municipal bond trade confirmation EXCEPT: A "In Whole" call dates B For revenue bonds, the source of revenue backing the issue C For industrial revenue bonds, the name of the corporation guaranteeing the issue D For general obligation bonds, the source of income backing the issue

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. For general obligation bonds, the source of income backing the issue.

Explanation:

There is no requirement to disclose the source of income that supports a general obligation issue because it must be a taxing power. The MSRB requires that the type of income that supports an income bond issue be disclosed, as well as the name of the corporate guarantor of the industrial income bonds. The dates of the calls "in their entirety" must also be disclosed in the customer confirmations, as they may affect the price of the issuance according to the rules of the MSRB (the MSRB requires that if a bond quoted based on performance is negotiated with a premium, and if it is enforceable "in its entirety" on pre-established dates and prices, then the dollar price must be calculated at the date of the call instead of the expiration date, since it is most likely to be called ).
