A. B. C. D.B
The correct answer is B. Providing quotations to customers.
As per the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) Rule G-27, a municipal securities principal must directly supervise municipal securities operations. This means that the principal must be responsible for ensuring that the firm's municipal securities business is conducted in compliance with all applicable securities laws, regulations, and rules.
Direct supervision involves a hands-on approach to monitoring and overseeing activities related to the firm's municipal securities operations. The following tasks are typically involved in directly supervising municipal securities operations:
A. Opening the customer's account: The principal must ensure that all customer accounts are opened properly and that all necessary documentation is collected and maintained.
B. Providing quotations to customers: This task is not involved in directly supervising municipal securities operations.
C. Handling customer complaints: The principal must ensure that all customer complaints are addressed promptly and fairly.
D. Handling a municipal securities transaction: The principal must review and approve all municipal securities transactions to ensure that they comply with all applicable securities laws, regulations, and rules.
In summary, while all of the tasks listed are important in municipal securities operations, providing quotations to customers is not a task that falls under the direct supervision of a municipal securities principal.
