Which of the following investment companies will always be passively managed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Given that Chandler is a representative with a member firm while Phoebe's employer is not a member of any known securities association, he is required to charge Phoebe the same commission that he charges any member of the general public when executing a transaction for her and is prohibited from splitting commissions with her. He is not prohibited from engaging in any financial transactions with her; he simply must do so ''for the same commissions or fees, and on the same terms and conditions as are. . .accorded to the general public,'' according to FINRA.

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where they mention face-amount certificate companies, but I can’t recall if they’re active or passive.

I think a unit investment trust is the one that’s always passively managed, but I’m not completely sure.

I'm a little confused on the differences between these investment company types. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the key characteristics of each one. Hopefully I can narrow it down from there.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. A face-amount certificate company and a closed-end investment company can be actively or passively managed, so those aren't the right answers. I'm pretty sure a unit investment trust is always passively managed, so I'll go with B.

I think option C stands out as something that doesn't align with the Principles. It feels off to prioritize foreign shareholders over domestic ones.

I have a vague feeling it was "should not" because of the implications for patient rights, but I'm unsure about the liability term!

A face-amount certificate company? What is this, the 1920s? Let's stick with something more modern, like a mutual fund.
