Question #: 33
Topic #: 2
[All Series-6 Questions]

A load mutual fund offers reduced load charges when an investor invests over $25,000 in the fund.

Which of the following can combine their funds in order to meet that breakpoint and get the reduced sales charge?

i. Mr. and Mrs. Smith

ii. Mrs. Smith and her 8-year-old daughter, Susie

iii. Mr. Smith and his brother, Darwin

IV. The Smithereen Investment Club, of which Mr. and Mrs. Smith are co-chairpersons

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Only Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Smith and her 8-year-old daughter, Susie, can combine their funds in order to meet the breakpoint and get the reduced sales charge. Investments made by a husband and a wife and by a parent on their own account and on a custodial account for a minor child can be combined toward the total needed to reach the breakpoint. (The child cannot be an adult, however.) Investments made by siblings and investment clubs cannot be combined to meet a breakpoint.

Why would Mr. Smith and Darwin qualify? Seems off.

I think only I and IV can combine, not the kids.

The investment club option seems tricky; I’m not certain if that counts as a valid combination for the breakpoint.

I practiced a similar question where family members could combine funds, so I feel like I should pick I and II for sure.

I think Mr. and Mrs. Smith can definitely combine their investments, but I’m a bit confused about the daughter’s eligibility.

I remember something about combining funds for breakpoints, but I'm not sure if siblings can do that.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is the client creating these zero-amount, no-unit entries manually, or are they coming in through some automated process? That could affect the best approach to resolving the issue.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know ipconfig has something to do with network settings, but I'm not sure if it's specifically for configuring routers or DHCP clients. I'll have to think this through carefully.
