Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only Selections I and III are correct. The PowerPoint slides that are being used at a financial planning seminar fall under the definition of sales literature and, as such, must be signed and dated by a registered principal of Total Investments and must be maintained in a separate file by Total for three years after the date of their first use. Sales literature must also be filed with FINRA within 10 business days of first use, but not prior to the first use, unless it concerns bond volatility ratings.
