The Investment Company/Variable Contracts Products Limited Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6) is used to qualify persons seeking registration with FINRA under Article II, Section 2 of the NASD By-Laws and applicable NASD Membership, Registration and Qualification Rules. Registered Representatives (RRs) in this limited category of registration are permitted to transact a member’s business in redeemable securities of companies registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, securities of closed-end companies registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the period of original distribution only, and variable contracts and insurance premium funding programs and other contracts issued by an insurance company except contracts that are exempt securities pursuant to Section 3(a)(8) of the Securities Act of 1933. This category of registration, by itself does not allow a registered rep to transact a member’s business in corporate securities, direct participation programs, municipal securities, or options products. Candidates seeking to transact these latter products must also register in one or more of the FINRA’s other limitedrepresentative categories, or as a General Securities Registered Representative.
