5.7.11 Performing Due Diligence

Broker-dealers and their associates have an obligation to perform reasonable diligence on the products that they sell. This means that they need to understand the nature of the securities (especially complex products) that they are recommending, including their risks and rewards. They also should be reasonably sure that the securities they are selling would be suitable for at least some customers. This is often referred to as the reasonable-basis suitability obligation.

FINRA has reminded broker-dealers that certain products require more due diligence because of their high level of risk. Regulation D private placements are one such product because they are usually illiqui

I passed my Series 6 and 63 [on the] first try. Test simulator helped a lot. Thanks Solomon Exam Prep.

Vaishali Lad, PNC Investments, Toledo, OH

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!

I passed my Series 63 today with an 85% and Series 6 two weeks back with an 80%. I was very nervous, but studying was made easy with Solomon Exam Prep; their simple Plain English explanations helped fight that legalese on the Series 63 especially. I totally owe this to the Solomon team, their awesome question bank, and friendly staff. "Ask the Professor" is prompt in answering all your queries. I'm definitely recommending their program to my employer.

I passed the Series 63 today with a score of 88%. I spent 3 hours every day for a week to study. I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone. Thank you Solomon. I couldn't do it without you.

I used Solomon Exam prep for my series 63 and passed the first time with flying colors. I did have a couple questions on the real exam that seemed almost verbatim from their practice tests. The audio books were really helpful since I'm on the go a lot. Her voice was a little obnoxious, but helpful. There was a great mix of test questions for all the practice tests so I wasn't just memorizing the questions, but rather I was memorizing material. I'd use them again for any future test.

Thank you guys for the outstanding prep materials. I took the Series 79 and 63 in the same week and passed both the first time with great scores. I could not have been better prepared. Your exam simulator is especially awesome! Nothing on either exam surprised after.
