Selling to Restricted Persons: FINRA Rule 5130

FINRA Rule 5130 was put in place to make sure that an initial public offering is offered fairly to all public investors, and does not give an advantage to insiders or people in the financial industry. FINRA Rule 5130 prohibits a member firm (broker-dealer) from selling shares of an IPO to an account in which a “restricted person” has a beneficial interest, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Restricted persons are:

• FINRA members and other broker-dealers
• Broker-dealer personnel including registered representatives including their family members
• Lawyers, accountants, financial consultants, or anyone else acting in a fiduciary capacity to the lead underwriter
• Portfolio managers
• Individuals with a significant ownership interest (+10%) in the broker-dealer

A restricted person is one who has beneficial interests (ownership) in at least 10% of the account.

Additionally, the rule also extends to immediate family members of restricted persons suc

Jeremy, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for your wonderful product! Your study guides helped me pass the 7, 66, 24, 52, and 53 all within 2 and a half months. Thank you again!

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

I passed my Series 24 today with an 80% thanks to Solomon Test Prep! I found the most benefit from using the practice exams as a learning tool, reading each answer explanation as I went along, regardless of a(n) correct/incorrect response. I found that for this exam, understanding the concepts is equally as important as memorization! Good luck!

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I took another vendors 24 course but it did not compare to how Solomon Exam Prep for Series 24 prepared me. The material and practice exams, especially the timed exams, were broken up by sections, similar to the FINRA Exam. This really helped in allowing me to understand which section(s) I needed to spend more time on/hit harder. Thank you Solomon!!!

Jim Ruckman, Mass Mutual

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!
