NewWave Investments, a family of mutual funds, hires the star of a new motion picture about the workings of Wall Street to provide a testimonial as part of NewWave's new television ad campaign. The actor's financial adviser has, in fact, invested some of the actor's monies in NewWave's funds. NewWave provides the actor with a script in which the actor explains the concept of dollar cost averaging to the viewers. At the conclusion of the actor's explanation, the viewers are informed that the actor has been paid for his testimonial, that his experience may not be representative of that of other clients, and that past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Based on these facts:

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.

I'm just picturing the actor on set, rehearsing that dollar cost averaging line over and over again. Gotta earn that paycheck!

Yeah, and imagine the actor reading that script like it's his own words. Option C is the one, FINRA doesn't allow public figure testimonials in ads.

Haha, I bet the actor's financial adviser is laughing all the way to the bank! Option B is the way to go - no payment for testimonials, that's the rule.

I disagree. Option D seems more appropriate to me. The actor may not have the knowledge and experience to provide a valid opinion on the technical concept of dollar cost averaging.

That's true, but it's still important for someone providing a testimonial on a technical aspect of investing to have the necessary knowledge and experience.

But the actor's financial adviser has invested in NewWave's funds, so maybe he has some knowledge about it.

I think Option D is correct. The actor might not be qualified to explain dollar cost averaging.

I'm not sure, but I think NewWave may have violated a FINRA rule that prohibits testimonials of public figures from being used in advertisements.

I think option A is correct. NewWave has disclosed the actor's payment and the fact that his experience may not be representative. As long as they comply with FINRA's disclosure requirements, they haven't violated any rules.
