Taken from our Series 14 Online Guide

4.1.3.7. Aggregate Indebtedness

A firm’s net capital may actually need to be higher than the minimum, depending on the firm’s aggregate indebtedness.

Aggregate indebtedness is made up of liabilities that are not secured by any of the firm’s assets. This is the amount that a firm must pay its unsecured creditors if it were to liquidate. Aggregate indebtedness includes:

• Loans that are backed by customer securities

• Customer credit balances

• Accounts payable

Aggregate indebtedness does not include loans that are backed by firm securities.

There are different aggregate indebtedness requirements based on whether a firm is a first-year firm or an established firm. First-year firms must ensure that their aggregate indebtedness is not more than eight times the amount of their net capital. If a firm’s aggregat

I would like to say a big thank you to Solomon for helping me pass my Series 14 exam. I took this exam the first time and missed passing by few marks. I was really sad and discouraged so reached out to Jeremy Solomon and he really took the time to talk to me and provide his guidance and advice. He also provided me with additional resources immediately to help with my second attempt. I recently passed this exam. Their study material is easy to understand and the Online Exam Simulator also has a lot of questions chapter-wise which were very helpful. Their customer service has been amazing and very responsive. Thank you Solomon. I will definitely recommend Solomon for anyone planning to take this exam.

I am so happy to say that took my Series 65 Exam and passed on my first attempt! All thanks must go to Solomon Exam Prep and its materials. I read the Study Guide cover to cover 3 times, took notes and took what felt like endless practice quizzes, but I must say that I found the practice questions more difficult than the actual exam! I cannot recommend Solomon Exam Prep enough!

I passed the series 22! Solomon's study materials and exams were the key to my preparation. I tried other companies first, and I knew something was off. After taking the FINRA exam, I know I would have failed if not for Solomon. I cannot overstate this. This test was difficult and foreign. Solomon helped me learn everything I needed to pass the series 22. Many thanks!

Completing the Series 7 was a requirement for my current position. After seeing the material and dedication Solomon Exam Prep put into the SIE material, I knew Solomon’s material would be perfect for me again. I had access to STC material and tried to go through it first but it was too content heavy and at certain points, very confusing. I decided to move back over to Solomon for the 7 and was blown away yet again by how great the material is. Solomon has figured out how to properly prepare people for this exam in my opinion. Solomon Exam Prep focuses on teaching the concept rather than bogging you down with so much material. THAT IS SO HELPFUL! Of course the material is important but it’s extensive. After using Solomon Exam Prep for the Series 7, I was able to fully understand the concepts which made it so much easier to select the best questions on the exams. All the other training programs bury you deep with content, which makes it almost impossible to understand the concepts. If you get questions on the exam that you have not seen before, only knowing specific material will not help you. But if you understand the concepts (like Solomon Exam Prep helped me do) you can break down the question and find the best answer based on your understanding of the concept as a whole. That’s a much better method and Solomon Exam Prep has figured this out! I strongly suggest buying the study guide. You won’t regret it!

I passed the Series 26 today with a score of 82%. Your exam simulator helped tremendously.

I just took and passed the Series 51 in one attempt. The Solomon materials were excellent. The Solomon simulated tests were very beneficial and were very similar to the actual 51 test. Thanks to Solomon I was well prepared to succeed. When I was taking the actual 51 exam, I did not encounter any surprises that I was not prepared for. Solomon seems to have it very well covered. My method for success? I read the book chapter by chapter, taking the chapter practice tests along the way. I saved the questions I missed for review later. I then went through the book a second time using the same method. After reviewing the questions I had missed on the smaller exams, I started taking the timed simulation for the test. Again, I reviewed the questions I got wrong, making sure I understood the reason for getting it wrong and what the right answer should be. I did this review of missed questions every time I took the simulated exam. I took the simulated exam five or six times, getting scores in the low 80s. This method prepared me to take the real test which I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend both Solomon and this study method for taking the 51. Good luck all future test takers!!!!
