Partners, Directors, and Managers of Broker-Dealers
The Uniform Securities Act states that:
A partner, officer, or director of a broker-dealer or issuer, or a person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions, is an agent only if [that person] otherwise comes within this definition.
- • Explanation: If a partner, officer, or director of a firm does not effect securities transactions on behalf of the firm, then he is not an agent. If he does engage in agent activities, then he is an agent.
