8.4.2.6. Sophisticated Municipal Market Professionals

A broker-dealer’s obligations to a customer are considerably modified when the customer is a sophisticated municipal market professional (SMMP). A sophisticated municipal market professional is a customer that is:

• A bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or investment company
• A registered investment adviser
• Any other individual or entity having total assets of at least $50 million

No other test prep service has questions so similar to the actual exam! Pairing practice questions in the exam simulator with the explanations in the book was definitely helpful in passing the Series 52!

I used Solomon for the Series 52 after failing twice with Kaplan and STC. Solomon was immensely more helpful, simpler to understand, and more accurate than both companies combined. The practice questions were very similar to the ones I saw on the exam and the Ask the Professor feature was quick and helpful. I will be using Solomon for the Series 7 in a few months, and I recommend everyone who need to take a FINRA exam to use Solomon before anything else.

Passed the 52 and 53 within two months thanks to the clarity of Solomon's materials. Great product!

I had previously used a competitors material while preparing for the Series 52 exam. Using that material I failed the exam twice and both times I felt unprepared even after studying a ton. I switched to Solomon after reading reviews that seemed to be similar to my scenario. I finally passed!! Solomon's material did a great job of simplifying really complex material. The practice exams were very similar to the real exam. While taking the exam for the third time after studying with Solomon I felt confident the entire exam because I knew the information and had seen questions formatted similar while taking practice exams. Thanks Solomon!!!

Solomon adequately prepared me to pass the 52 on my first try. Also, the one time I used the Ask the Professor tool, I received a response promptly. The pre-built study timelines were fantastic, and the ability to access via computer and the iPhone App was crucial. Many thanks to Solomon. I will use you guys again.

Questions from the exam simulator were pretty similar to the actual series 52 exam, and I felt prepared with the study guide. I will be purchasing the series 53 study materials from Solomon in the near future.
