Pass the Series 65 by knowing the definitions, formulas and thresholds the test actually asks — who must register and who's exempt, the de minimis rule, the custody and performance-fee limits, CAPM and the Sharpe ratio, the yield math — instead of rereading a textbook.
Series 65 Exam Study Guide is a focused, fully offline companion for the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, the NASAA license exam you pass to register as an investment adviser representative. The app is organized exactly like the official outline: all four weighted content areas, so you can drill your weakest area or work through the whole exam.
SIX WAYS TO STUDY
• Flashcards — tap to reveal, tagged by content area
• Multiple-choice questions set in real adviser scenarios — a client portfolio, a registration puzzle, a compliance call — every one with a worked explanation
• True/false drills built from the misconceptions that cost marks
• Term-matching game — pair key terms in rounds of five
• Searchable glossary of the vocabulary the exam assumes you know
• Formulas & thresholds reference — every ratio, yield and return formula plus the legal numbers (AUM limits, time limits, dollar thresholds), each with what it applies to and the trap to avoid
WHAT'S COVERED
• Economic Factors & Business Information — business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy, inflation, yield curves, economic indicators, financial statements and SEC filings, time value of money, statistics, financial ratios, and the taxonomy of risk
• Investment Vehicle Characteristics — money markets, Treasuries and TIPS, corporate and municipal bonds, duration and yield relationships, common and preferred stock, ADRs, options and futures, mutual funds and share classes, ETFs, closed-end funds, REITs, hedge funds, annuities, life insurance, alternatives and digital assets
• Client Recommendations & Strategies — client types and suitability, CAPM, Modern Portfolio Theory, asset allocation, tax fundamentals, IRAs and employer plans, ERISA, 529s and HSAs, account ownership and estate techniques, trading mechanics, and performance measurement
• Laws, Regulations & Ethics — the Uniform Securities Act and the Investment Advisers Act: definitions, registration, exclusions and exemptions for advisers, IARs, broker-dealers, agents and securities; the Administrator's powers; advertising, compensation, custody, fiduciary duty, and the full catalogue of prohibited practices
