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

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.

Joseph Shapiro, Edward Jones Investments, St. Louis, MO

Between September 18 and December 3, I took exams for the Series 62, 63, 6 and 24. I studied for everything with Solomon, and passed them all on the first try. Solomon’s interactive/Ask the Professor teaching method was extremely helpful in grasping the necessary concepts. What a relief to be done. Thanks, Karen!

Taking the Series 24 class with Karen Solomon this week helped reinforce the data that I learned, and I passed my exam! The material was thorough and the exam simulator was an excellent tool to test your knowledge. Thank you Karen!

I recently passed my Series 24 using Solomon Exam Prep! It was the hardest exam I've taken to date. I found all the practice exams with specific feedback to be the most helpful, though the audiobook was very helpful as well.

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

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!!!
