ProductsQuestion 39 of 110
For purposes of combining purchases to reach a breakpoint, which of the following does NOT qualify as a single "person"?
a.An individual investor
b.A husband and wife purchasing in a joint account
c.A parent purchasing in a UTMA account for a minor child
d.An investment club whose members pool their money
Explanation
Breakpoint aggregation is available to an individual, a married couple, and their minor children's custodial accounts because those represent one family unit. Investment clubs, partnerships, and other groups formed mainly to obtain a reduced sales charge are expressly excluded. Allowing clubs to aggregate would let unrelated investors buy their way into discounts intended for a single household.
