Which of the following is exempt from registering as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Since Joan is a customer of GetErDone, GetErDone must provide her with a notification of its privacy policies annually and provide her with information on how to mandate that it not share her nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. GetErDone may not disclose any information about Jean, who is not yet a customer of the firm, unless the broker -dealer has provided Jean with its privacy policy and given her the opportunity to opt out of its ability to share her information with nonaffiliated third parties. GetErDone is not required to have provided Jean with a copy of its privacy policy when she inquired about opening an account, but it will need to provide her with one when/if she becomes a customer.

A unit investment trust is also exempt, right?

Okay, I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that don't match the key exemptions I know about, then choose the best fit from the remaining choices.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording seems a bit technical, so I'll need to think it through step-by-step.

I'm pretty confident I know the right answer here. Unit investment trusts are a common exemption, so I'll go with that.

I'm a bit confused by the second statement about every feature or tool having a separate IPS incorporation. I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. I'll have to think about that one.

I'm feeling pretty confident about C. Those accredited investors can handle themselves, no need for extra registration. Although, I do wonder if they get any special perks, like free doughnuts or something.

Definitely not B. A non-diversified mutual fund would need to register, right? I'm going with C on this one.

I agree with Laurene. A company that sells only to accredited investors is exempt because they are considered sophisticated investors.
