What does the Series 82 qualify me to do?
A Series 82 license qualifies an individual for the sale of private placement securities as part of a primary offering. It does not permit the sale of public offerings or municipal or government securities.
In order to sit for the Series 82, aka the “Limited Representative – Private Securities Offerings” exam, you must be an associated person of a member firm.
-
Are there any prerequisites for the Series 82 exam?
You will also be required to take the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam, unless you have passed certain other licensing exams (such as the Series 7 or 79) prior to October 1st, 2018.
If you need to take the SIE exam, check out Solomon Exam Prep SIE study materials.
-
Does the FINRA Series 82 Private Offerings exam allow you to sell securities issued by direct participation programs (DPPs)?
No. A Series 82 by itself does not allow a registered representative to trade or sell DPP securities, government or municipal securities, variable annuities, variable life insurance, or mutual funds. Selling DPP securities requires passing the Series 22 exam.
-
What is the difference between a private placement, a limited partnership (LP), and a direct participation program (DPP)?
The type of legal entity that a business is, and the type of offering used to sell that entity's securities, are two different things. The entity is the business itself. The offering is a transaction that the business is conducting.
The type of entity can influence the type of offering. For example, an LP is a type of entity that typically sells parts of itself to investors using a Regulation D private placement. But a private placement is not a type of business entity, it's a type of securities offering.
A DPP is a special label that regulators give to certain businesses, often in the real estate or oil & gas industries. Many, but not all, LPs qualify as DPPs.
