Series 65: Unauthorized Principal Transactions

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Unauthorized Principal Transactions

While broker-dealers regularly sell their customers securities from their own inventory of securities (known as acting as a “principal”), it is far less common for an investment adviser to do the same thing. Since an investment adviser is not registered as a “dealer,” and recommending the purchase of securities out of his own inventory presents a conflict of interest, an investment adviser who engages in principal transactions must do

I passed the Series 65 this afternoon! Your online test simulation was terrific. Thanks so much!

David G., San Francisco, CA

I passed my series 65 exam on the first attempt! The books and sample questions are always very helpful. I leveraged this course with another program that was offered to me. I did mainly use this one and found the material very helpful. Overall, I would say the test questions that were in the book and online were much more difficult than the exam itself. I do like the crash course piece, but would also love the option of a instructional video which is what the other course offered. I learn not just by readying, but visually as well. The combination of the two were very helpful, but overall I felt the material, especially the sample test questions, were more comprehensive. Thank you for the material.

I wanted to thank you for your help several weeks ago. The practice questions were very helpful. I passed the exam (Series 65) on the first try with a solid score.

I am 73 years old and have been retired for 5 years. My fulfilling career of 38 years was mainly as a portfolio manager in a trust setting. A good friend of mine recently started an RIA and asked me to consider coming to work for him. Since I loved my job and retirement is boring in comparison, the decision to jump back in was rather easy. You know the old saying: if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. But yes, I must first pass Series 65. The study materials and whole program you have constructed are excellent. I read the phone-book sized reading materials and took many practice exams on the website. Just this morning I sat for the test and passed. Hooray!! I am convinced that your test preparation process made the exam seem easy. So I will recommend to anyone preparing for a securities exam to definitely consider getting your program. Thanks again for your outstanding program and guidance."

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.

Paige Robino, Fisher Investments, Plano, TX

The Series 65 was a tough exam, but thanks to Solomon I passed at the first attempt. The Solomon Exam Prep Course covered every single aspect in detail. The material was not only important to pass the exam, but it is extremely helpful in the job as investment adviser representative.
