A securities license entitling the holder to register as a company's representative and sell certain types of mutual funds, variable life insurance is known as which exam?

• A. Series 6 Exam
• B. Series 7 Exam
• C. Series 9/10 Exam
• D. CFP (Certified Financial Planner)

Answer: (A)

Licensing scope for selling investment products. Series 6 is the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Exam. It certifies you to register as a company’s representative and sell a limited set of products: mutual funds, variable annuities, and variable life insurance. This aligns with the description in the question, where the license authorizes selling mutual funds and variable contracts but not the broader array of securities like stocks or bonds. If you needed to sell those broader securities, you’d typically pursue a general securities license such as Series 7. The Series 9/10 covers branch supervision, and CFP is a financial-planning credential, not a securities license.
