Investopedia explains 'Series 79 '
The Series 79 exam is intended for investment bankers whose skills are more specific than those provided by the broader Series 7 exam. New rules were enacted in 2009 to better prepare individuals specifically for investment banking activities or supervision of these activities.
The exam focuses on four different areas:
1. Collection, Analysis and Evaluation of Data
2. Underwriting/New Financing Transactions, Types of Offerings and Registration Of Securities
3. Merger and Acquisitions, Tender Offers and Financial Restructuring Transactions
4. General Securities Industry Regulations
These areas are deemed to be important for succeeding in a Limited Representative - Investment Banker role.
