Question

A registered representative wishes to give a speech to a group of 35 potential retail clients at a restaurant. The speech is scripted and is a general discussion about investing in securities. Which statement is TRUE?

Answer 1

Answer:

Prior principal approval must be obtained and a copy of the speech must be retained in your firm's Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction

Explanation:

Because the speech is to be givento 35 attendees, it is under the Retail Communication. Every speech should be honest and of good taste; and the speech must be informational, but far from promotional.

It is not required that the speech content has to be pre-filed with the SEC. A copy must be kept a period of f 3 years for inspection by FINRA examiners. The speech script would be kept on file in the firm's supervisory compliance office that is the Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction.
