A registered sales associate in South Carolina, Cindy Chiellini helps client management their assets at Mantei & Associates. She has worked for the company for more than two decades, having accepted the role from positions as such companies as Robinson Humphrey and Paine Webber. Alongside her hands-on experience in the finance sector, Cindy Chiellini also holds a Series 7 license.
Administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Series 7 is a license and exam that grants holders the ability to sell most types of securities products. This entry-level registration is also known as the General Securities Representative Qualification Examination and is designed to test a professional’s knowledge of corporate securities, investment company securities, variable annuities, and direct participation programs. The Series 7 does not qualify professionals to sell futures or commodities.
A required license for entry-level brokers and registered representatives, the Series 7 exam can only be taken after candidates pass the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. This tests a candidate’s knowledge of the securities industry and common securities products and their associated risks. The Series 7 test consists of 125 questions, of which professionals must get 72 percent correct. Some states also require that professionals earn a Series 63 license in addition to the Series 7 before they begin selling securities.
