Chapter Ten

Ethical Practices and Fiduciary Obligations

(16 questions out of 130)

The regulators make you take this exam for one primary reason—to protect members of the public. With that in mind, they’re unwavering in their requirement that financial advisers know and understand the rules and principles surrounding ethical business practices. The NASAA Model Rules for Investment Advisers and Investment Adviser Representatives, and for Broker-Dealers and Agents, are reproduced in Appendices A and B. Reading them over in their entirety provides a great review before your exam.

For you to do well on exam questions related to ethical practices and fiduciary obligations, you need to do more than simply know and memorize the concepts, although that is a necessary start. You need to be able to apply these rules to hypothetical scenarios. In a nutshell, there are four concepts at the core of the fiduciary (trusted adviser) relationship you will have with your clients. If you read every ethical question with these concepts in mind, you should be able to navigate even the trickiest of hypothetical situations.

I passed the 63 and 65 the practice questions are much more difficult than the actual exam. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to be challenged and wants to pass the first time out.

Special thanks to Solomon for ensuring I pass the 65! Trust in the material and you will pass. I bought multiple resources and by far, Solomon was the best. Thanks again.

As an international student from Bogota, Colombia who recently graduated from Principia College in Business administration and economics, I was looking for the best learning software alternative to study for the Series 65 exam. When I started using Solomon Exam Prep, I realized it was the best option due to its friendly platform, extensive question bank, detailed video lessons and meticulously written study guide for the test. As a native Spanish speaker, I was afraid that I wasn't going to understand, but thanks to Solomon Exam Prep's user friendly guide, I was able to understand every concept from multiple points of view with the help of the video lessons, study guide, note cards and audiobook. I am so grateful that I got to finish the program in 8 weeks start my training as an Investment Adviser Representative for Challenger Wealth Management at 24 years old!

I passed my Series 65 today with an 80, first effort! Not only was the material well laid out, but if it's possible, the Solomon prep made the material palatable and understandable. Amazing!!! I have used Kaplan in the past as well as STC, which are both very good, but I chose Solomon because it had audio downloads. With an hour commute, I was able to study during that otherwise wasted time. Additionally, the "Ask the Professor" and live chat features were excellent!! Questions were answered virtually immediately by personal email and the author/owner Jeremy Solomon actually called me to help me and cheer me on! I didn't think this kind of customer service and general human kindness existed anymore. He even asked me to let him know personally my results which, thanks to this program, I am on the other side of this very difficult exam. Thank you Solomon Exam Prep!!!!!

I passed the test [the Series 65] with flying colors. Your study material, particularly the book and the online exams were the difference maker. Other individuals in my firm used exam prep courses from other companies and unfortunately did not pass the exam. I am confident in saying that these materials were the difference maker. Thank you for creating such a great product. Everyone in my firm will use your simulators going forward.
