Erin is a registered agent who works for SecureMoney Brokers-dealers. One of her clients, Mrs. McTurk, is a recently-widowed woman who relies on Erin for advice about her investment portfolio.

Suggested Answer: D

Neither SecureMoney Broker-dealers nor Erin must register as an investment adviser based on the facts provided since neither the broker-dealer nor Erin is receiving any compensation for the advice Erin is giving Mrs. McTurk. In this instance, the advice provided is considered incidental to the broker-dealer business.

I’m a bit uncertain about the difference between the firm and Erin’s responsibilities. Does the firm automatically need to register if an employee does?

I remember a practice question where a broker-dealer had to register because of advice being given. Could that apply here too?

I think Erin might need to register as an investment adviser representative since she’s giving advice, but I’m not sure about the firm’s registration requirements.
