Investopedia explains 'Series 62'

The Series 62 is more limited in scope than the Series 7 exam; licensed limited registered representatives can trade in equities, corporate bonds, preferred stocks and some asset-backed securities. They cannot trade in funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, such as open- and closed-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
