Question #: 51
Topic #: 7

[All Series-6 Questions]

The board of directors of a mutual fund is responsible for:

i. authorizing purchases and sales of securities made by the fund.

ii. approving the fund's contract with its investment adviser.

iii. ensuring that the fund complies with federal securities laws regarding such issues as 12b -1 fees.

IV. establishing the fund's dividend and capital gains policy.

AI and IV only

BI, II, and IV only

CII, III, and IV only

DI, II, III, and IV

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The true statement is that reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions count toward reaching a breakpoint under the rights of accumulation. The rights of accumulation are not something that all mutual funds with front-end loads must offer. There is no time limit on the accumulation period. The rights of accumulation and the letter of intent are two separate animals; neither has anything to do with the other.

Okay, the question is asking for the command to configure a static route on router R1 to reach the network behind router R2. Let me think this through step-by-step.

The board of directors? More like the board of 'I've had enough of this mutual fund nonsense!' Amirite? But seriously, D is the way to go. Gotta keep those fund managers on a tight leash.
