Banks and trust companies acting in their fiduciary capacity are excluded. Partnerships, underwriters, and solicitors of retail clients must register. Correct: A.

Omitting fees misrepresents the investment and is misleading. NASAA requires accurate disclosure of all costs. Correct: B.

False statements constitute fraud, directly violating the USA’s anti-fraud provisions. Suitability (A), recordkeeping (C), and advertising standards (D) are separate obligations. Correct: B.

Broker-dealers with no office and transacting only with institutional investors (banks, insurance companies, etc.) are exempt. Firms with offices or retail solicitation must register. Correct: B.

Under the Uniform Securities Act (USA), a broker-dealer is required to register with the state Administrator if it maintains a place of business in the state, regardless of the type of client it serves. Even if all clients are out-of-state residents, the physical presence of an office within the state triggers state registration. Exemptions exist if the firm has no place of business in the state and only transacts with institutional investors, or if the broker-dealer’s only clients are issuers of securities involved in transactions. Registration with the SEC does not supersede state requirements for broker-dealer registration when physical offices are involved. Thus, the correct choice is B, as having an office in the state requires registration regardless of client type.
