The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that each national securities exchange register with the SEC.

All of the following statements are true regarding "Securities Information Processors" EXCEPT: A. registration with the SEC is required under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 B. no registration with the SEC is required if the processor solely disseminates quotes or transaction information relating to listed securities C. no registration with the SEC is required if the processor solely disseminates quotes or transaction information relating to exempt securities D. no registration with the SEC is required if the quotes or transactions are solely published in a general circulation newspaper

The best answer is B. Securities information processors provide quotes or transaction information for trades of non-exempt securities. If the processor only gives this information for exempt securities, such as U.S. Governments, then no registration with the SEC is required. If the processor gives information about listed securities (for example, the Consolidated Quotations Service - CQS - gives quotes for listed stocks), registration is required because these are non-exempt under Federal law. General circulation newspapers are excluded from the definition of a securities information processor. Examples of "securities information processors" include each exchange's TRF (Trade Reporting Facility), Bloomberg, and Reuters.

Private fund advisers (advisers to hedge funds)

with $150 million or more of assets under management (AUM) must register with the SEC. To do so, it must file both Form PF (Private Fund adviser) and Form ADV.
