What this video covers
- Why an investor's signed subscription agreement plus wired funds still leaves the representative unable to process anything until the issuer accepts
- The three internal documents a firm must keep alongside the accepted subscription agreement: the blotter entry, principal review and approval, and payment or wire instructions
- What "subscription-way basis" means and why it matters for recordkeeping: a direct transaction with the issuer, not the secondary market
- When the order memorandum can be excused and what substitute document replaces it (subscription agreement for purchases, issuer-required document for sales or redemptions)
- Why the subscription-way exception reaches only the order memorandum and never the blotter, which remains required in every transaction type
- How exam writers bait you with scenarios where the customer did everything right and you must still identify the missing issuer acceptance
