Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Upon receiving a complaint about one of its member firms, FINRA may require any person associated with the member firm to provide information and to testify under oath; it may inspect and copy the books, records, and accounts of the member firm; and it may share information obtained from its investigation of a member firm with a foreign regulatory agency. The foreign regulator must agree to treat the information confidentiality, and the agreement with the foreign regulator is predicated on two requirements: ''(A) the other regulator party to the agreement must have jurisdiction over common regulatory matters; and (B) the agreement must require the other regulator to reciprocate and share with FINRA information of regulatory interest or concern to FINRA.''

Profit-sharing plans can also skip the mandatory withdrawals.

I’m leaning towards option C, since I know Roth IRAs don’t require withdrawals at 70, but I’m not confident about the others.

I’m pretty certain that SIMPLE IRAs do have mandatory distributions, but I’m confused about the 401(k) and profit-sharing plan.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think the profit-sharing plan might also not have that requirement.

I think I remember that Roth IRAs don’t have the same withdrawal requirements as traditional accounts, but I’m not completely sure.

Hmm, I think the Roth IRA is the answer here. From what I remember, it's the only one on the list that doesn't require mandatory distributions starting at age 70 1/2. But I'll double-check to be sure.

I'm a little confused on the differences between these retirement plans. I'll need to review the key features of each one to determine which one doesn't have the 70 1/2 withdrawal rule.

I've got this! The Roth IRA is the only one on the list that doesn't have the mandatory withdrawal requirement by age 70 1/2. The other plans all have that rule.

Okay, let me think this through. The Roth IRA is definitely exempt from that rule, so that's one option. But I'm not sure about the others - I'll have to double-check the specifics.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the details of each plan to determine which one doesn't have the 70 1/2 withdrawal requirement.
