Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the nature of the investment products listed: Savings accounts, fixed annuities, whole life insurance policies, and mutual funds.
Recognize that a securities license is required to sell products that are classified as securities under financial regulations.
Savings accounts are deposit products offered by banks and are not considered securities, so no securities license is required to sell them.
Fixed annuities and whole life insurance policies are insurance products, not securities, and therefore do not require a securities license to sell.
Mutual funds are investment products that pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities. Since mutual funds are classified as securities, a securities license is required to sell them.
