Free FINRA Series 6 (Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative) Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers Practice Questions
Seeking business from customers and potential customers on the FINRA Series 6 exam covers retail communications and correspondence, FINRA Rule 2210 approval requirements, prospectus delivery, and the rules governing how representatives describe mutual funds and variable products to the public (FINRA).
Under FINRA Rule 2210, which of the following BEST characterizes a "retail communication"?
🎉
Correct Answer: A
Solution
A is correct. Rule 2210 defines a retail communication as any written (including electronic) communication distributed or made available to more than 25 retail investors within any 30 calendar-day period. The 25-investor threshold over a rolling 30-day window is the dividing line that separates retail communications from correspondence.
Question 2
Medium
When soliciting prospective customers, a registered representative may do all of the following EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. Guaranteeing a customer against loss is a prohibited practice; no representative may promise that an investment cannot lose value. Presenting standardized performance under SEC Rule 482, using a preliminary prospectus to gather indications of interest during the cooling-off period, and describing a fund's prospectus-stated investment objectives are all permissible solicitation activities.
Question 3
Hard
Under FINRA Rule 2330, a member firm's obligations in connection with a customer's purchase of a deferred variable annuity include all of the following EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
B is correct. Rule 2330 requires a registered principal to review and approve the transaction before the application is transmitted to the issuer (no later than seven business days after a complete application is received), a reasonable basis to believe the customer was informed of the annuity's material features, and firm surveillance procedures together with product-specific training. The rule does not require principal approval before a representative may first describe the contract to a customer.
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 35 finance credentials with more than 40,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.
01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.
The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.
02
Free should mean free.
No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.
03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.
He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
