Series 7 Exam Prep 75, Municipal Securities Rules and MSRB

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The MSRB creates rules for the municipal securities market but does not have enforcement authority; enforcement is handled by agencies like FINRA and the OCC. - Political contributions by Municipal Finance Professionals (MFPs) are limited to $250 per election for candidates they can vote for, with violations triggering a two-year business ban for their firm. - The Official Statement is the primary disclosure document for new municipal issues, but unlike a corporate prospectus, it is not required by the MSRB, only that it must be delivered if available. - Suitability is critical; recommending a tax-free municipal bond to a client in a low tax bracket or for their tax-deferred retirement account is a common exam trap. - Under MSRB Rule G-17, firms must deal fairly with all customers, a principle tested in scenarios involving fair pricing, commissions, and disclosure.
