Series 27: Aged Fails To Deliver

Taken from our Series 27 Online Guide

Aged Fails to Deliver

Each fail-to-deliver contract outstanding for five business days or longer (21 business days or longer in the case of municipal securities) must deduct the haircut on the market value of that type of security. The haircut then must be increased by any excess of the contract price over the market value of the security. Or it will be reduced by any excess of the market value of the underlying security over the contract price, as long as the excess does not cause the haircut to fall below zero.

Contract value	Market value	Age from settlement	15% haircut	Addition or subtraction	Total haircut	Allowable Asset
$3,000	$4,000	6 business days	$600	($1,000)	$0	$3,000
$3,000	$3,200	6 business days	$480	($200)	$280	$2720
$3,000	$2800	6 business days	$420	+$200	$620	$2380

FINRA may, upon the broker-dealer’s request, extend the fail-to-deliver period up to five business days if it is satisfied that the extension is warranted. In this case, any haircut reduction in assets will be delayed another five business days.

I passed my 27 and I can't thank you enough for the preparation materials, most importantly the Final Exams. I studied for weeks for this test and buckled down the last two weeks of 6 hour study days. It's a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without you!!!

Amanda Whitney, Great Nation Investment Corporation, Amarillo, TX

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

Nikita Brown, BMI. Atlanta, GA

Thank you, Solomon! I passed the SIE and am now working on Series 7. Coming from a background outside of Wealth Management and Finance, I found this material very user friendly. I regularly used the iPhone app as well as the online material, followed the study guide and took A LOT of practice tests. I am grateful for the team at Solomon with a special call out to Madi B and Jeremy S who gave me additional support whenever I needed it. I look forward to the Series 7 content as I was very impressed with the SIE content.

Jeremy Johnson, RBC Wealth Management. Green Bay, WI

Very excited to pass the Series 66! The Solomon practice exams were very helpful to understand the concepts and fundamentals of the questions. I would highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep for all FINRA exams. Make sure to have a good grasp on agent registration and suitability when taking the 66. Thank you Solomon!

Blake Rossman, TrueWealth. Bellevue, WA

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used you to pass my Series 6, 63 and most recently my Series 7 all on the first try. The practice exams and video lectures were great and extremely helpful. Will definitely be using your study material for any future exams and will recommend you to other people

Louis Orsatti, NY LIFE Securities, Boston, MA

Jeremy and Tim were extremely helpful in helping me get through some of the tricky parts of the Series 50 exam. Your customer service was top notch and I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone sitting for this test.
