Answer:

D) neither the agent nor his employing broker-dealer need register as an investment adviser

Explanation:

In the given scenario the agent produces his own research reports and provides them to a select group of personal clients.

He has permission from his employer to do this.

According to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 the agent will only be excluded from being an investment advisor when he receives special compensation for giving investment advise.

Special compensation is when the agent is paid even when there are no transactions occuring.

In this case it's only when there is a transaction that the agent gets paid a commission. So this is not a special compensation.

As such neither the agent nor his employing broker-dealer need register as an investment adviser.
