Series 28: Aged Fails To Deliver

Taken from our Series 28 Online Guide

Aged Fails to Deliver

Each fail-to-deliver contract outstanding for five business days or longer (21 business days or longer in the case of municipal securities) must deduct the haircut on the market value of that type of security. The haircut then must be increased by any excess of the contract price over the market value of the security. Or it will be reduced by any excess of the market value of the underlying security over the contract price, as long as the excess does not cause the haircut to fall below zero.

Contract value	Market value	Age from settlement	15% haircut	Addition or subtraction	Total haircut	Allowable Asset
$3,000	$4,000	6 business days	$600	($1,000)	$0	$3,000
$3,000	$3,200	6 business days	$480	($200)	$280	$2720
$3,000	$2800	6 business days	$420	+$200	$620	$2380

FINRA may, upon the broker-dealer’s request, extend the fail-to-deliver period up to five business days if it is satisfied that the extension is warranted. In this case, any haircut reduction in assets will be delayed another five business days.

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

I took this Series 28 today and passed on my first try! I think the practice exams helped a ton, though in general, I would say the actual test seemed (at least to me), more difficult than the practice exams. Either way, couldn't have done it without the Solomon Exam Prep.

I wanted to let you know I passed my Series 28 today!! Thanks for great prep materials. I have been working really long hours at my job and it was a challenge finding the time to study. The video lectures proved to be a big help. I’m glad that exam is over!!!

Thank you...thank you. I took my Series 7 yesterday and passed....1st try. Read the whole book 3 times. My system was to go through and answer the questions I was positive about. Good guess at the others and park them for review. The hardest part is trying to understand what they are actually asking. This way I wasn’t bogged down and stressed being stuck on a question. Second time around go through all those parked questions...digging deeper...checking my calculations etc. again parking the ones that totally stumped me. Third time around....educated guesses and what seemed to make sense. Also, on my way there, I was picturing myself in the room....sitting at the computer (yes, I took a dry run to see the inside). It took that part of the unknown out of the equation. Be prepared for the masks and Covid precautions. Any options questions, as tricky as they make them, I would look at my charts and was able to make sense of what they were asking. Finished the test in record time. Being prepared gave me the confidence to get through it. Many thanks Lorraine

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!
