Which of the following is not a feature associated with an investment in preferred stock?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The false statement regarding both a UGMA and a UTMA is that the assets must be re-registered in the minor child's name when the child turns 18. The rule differs between the two types of accounts. The UGMA requires that the assets must be re-registered when the child reaches the ''age of majority,'' as defined by the state, and the definition differs among states. Under the UTMA, the transfer of the account can be delayed until the minor child has reached the age of 25.

The convertibility to common stock sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's a standard feature for all preferred stocks.

I remember that preferred stock usually has fixed dividends, so that part seems right.

Ah, I think I've got it. The fact that preferred stock may be convertible to common stock is not a universal feature. That's the one that stands out as different from the other characteristics listed. I'll mark that as my answer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the basics of preferred stock, but I'm not sure I can confidently identify the feature that's not typical. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the options.

Okay, let's see. I know preferred stock dividends are usually fixed, and if a dividend is skipped, it has to be made up before common shareholders get paid. The voting rights for preferred shareholders are also a key feature. I'm not sure about the convertibility, though - I'll have to think that one through.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the features of preferred stock to determine which one is not a typical characteristic.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this. Preferred shareholders typically don't have voting rights on board members, mergers, and shareholder proposals. That's the feature that's not associated with preferred stock investments.

This question is making me prefer to not take this exam. Maybe I'll just stick to investing in 'common' sense instead.
