BEFORE YOU TAKE THE SERIES 6 EXAM, KNOW WHAT A SHAREHOLDER'S "UNDIVIDED INTEREST" IS!

In a mutual fund, such as ABC Fund, shareholders possess an "undivided interest" in the securities in ABC's portfolio.  Make sure you know what this means before you take the Series 6 exam.

An undivided interest means that if there are 100 stocks in ABC's portfolio, a shareholder owns a portion of the entire portfolio.  A shareholder's interest cannot be divided or allocated merely to one or two securities. No, a shareholder has an interest in the entire portfolio.
