Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
$100
$100 is too low and doesn't reflect Montana's actual requirement. This amount would be insufficient for legitimate operational needs and doesn't align with state regulations.
$500
$500 is below Montana's actual limit of $1,000. While some states may have lower limits, Montana specifically permits up to $1,000 of personal funds in trust accounts.
$1,000
$5,000
$5,000 exceeds Montana's maximum allowance of $1,000 for personal funds in trust accounts. Keeping too much personal money in a trust account could be seen as an attempt to commingle funds improperly.
Why is this correct?
Montana law specifically allows brokers to keep up to $1,000 of personal funds in a trust account. This amount serves as a practical buffer for minor operational expenses while maintaining the primary purpose of protecting client funds.
