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 wanted to let you know I passed the exam [Series 24] this morning! The practice exams were invaluable. Thank you for your extra help and suggestions. I have recommended this to two of my co-workers who will be taking the Series 7 this year. I will say, the 24 was worded so tricky. And so much irrelevant info put into the questions. I had to write down pieces of the question to get the gist of what it was asking. Very purposfully confusing. But it's over and I'm thankful for your product. Thx again

Karmen Richards, Multi Financial Securities, Greensboro, NC

Passed the 24 today ... fun test.. You have a great product. The material was easy to follow and the practice tests were very, very helpful. Thank you.

Danny Klingler, Kestra Financial, Austin, Texas

Even though there is no such thing as a guaranteed success in the securities industry, there is a likelihood of strong returns if you are able to make the right risk / reward choices at the right time.

If you are taking a test one of those choices is Solomon materials. Just follow their guidance. It worked for me, 3 times in a row, 7, 63, 24!

Eric Altmann, New York, NY

This is my fourth time using Solomon's exam materials (Series 99, 7, 63, and now the 24)....and I PASSED once again on my first try. Thank you Solomon- your exam question simulator was extremely helpful!

Kim Schmidt, Elmcore Securities, Las Vegas

I stuck to the outline day by day and it really helped me with sticking to a routine and curriculum. I passed the Series 24 on my 1st try! Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Securities Industry.

Rima Mehta, PNC Investments, Charlotte, NC

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.
