Type 4 regulated activity refers to which?

• A. Dealing in futures
• B. Advising on securities
• C. Dealing in securities
• D. Leveraged FX trading

Answer: (B)

Advising on securities is the activity being tested. This means giving opinions or recommendations to a client about investing in securities—such as whether to buy, hold, or sell stocks, bonds, or other securities, and how to structure a portfolio or investment strategy around them. This type of guidance requires a Type 4 regulated activity license. It’s distinct from actually dealing in securities (executing trades on behalf of someone) or dealing in futures or leveraged FX. So when the focus is on providing personalized investment recommendations about securities, that falls under advising on securities. General market information or non-specific commentary wouldn’t count as this regulated activity.
