Applying "Series 62 Exam" to Securities Exams:

Please note that the Series 62 Exam had a much more limited scope than the Series 7 exam. Once this exam had been successfully completed candidates could then act as limited registered representatives and have the option to trade in corporate bonds, equities, some asset-backed securities and preferred stocks. What they cannot do is trade in those open end funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This would include securities such as open-ended mutual funds.
