What to know

  • An agent represents a broker-dealer or an issuer in effecting securities transactions. Clerical and administrative staff who do not take orders are not agents.
  • An individual representing an issuer is not an agent when selling certain exempt securities, selling in exempt transactions, or selling to the issuer’s existing employees with no commission paid for the solicitation.
  • An agent may be registered with only one broker-dealer (or issuer) at a time unless the firms are under common control.
  • When an agent moves firms, the agent, the old firm and the new firm all notify the Administrator promptly (Form U5 by the old firm, Form U4 by the new one).
