Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

Types of Subordination Agreements

Investors who wish to invest in a broker-dealer may enter into a subordination agreement with the broker-dealer. A subordination agreement is an agreement to lend the broker-dealer cash or securities in the form of subordinated debt. This kind of debt is not backed by collateral and is the last kind of debt to be paid back if the firm is forced to liquidate. Because of the risks of subordinated debt, it may pay higher returns, but should not be offered to investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Often, investors who take on subordinated debt will be parties with an already large stake in the firm who are willing to offer a riskier loan for the benefit of the firm (e.g., a partner in a partnership or a parent company).

These kinds of subordinated agreements are often taken on by firms to increase their net capital. They increase net capital because the firm’s assets go up by cash from the loan, but the firm’s li

Just passed the Series 24 on my first attempt. Not an easy exam so put the time in. I used the Video Lectures and the Exam Simulator from Solomon. Great resources of information!

Shawn McClain, Natixis, Charlotte NC

I was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

Studying for the 24 was not easy. I felt Solomon's course materials and online portal prepared me well for passing the exam in the first try. The study material was NOT overwhelmingly thrown together and I found the study program to be manageable and focused. Got me through the study period of about 4-5 weeks. I would recommend Solomon over the other courses.

3rd time is a charm and it took Solomon to do it. None of the other materials in my first two attempts were strong enough to enable me to reason my way to the correct answers. Solomon's angle on this material was closest to the actual test and was the reason I got there.

As an aside, the ongoing personal help was very surprising and commendable. Thank you, Solomon!

I used Solomon to study for the 26 and most recently the 24. The material is layered in way that makes it manageable to digest and the instructor response time and explanations are outstanding. I passed both on the first attempt!

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.
