Question: 1 / 400

What does the so-called 5% policy pertain to?

Mark ups on retail OTC transactions excepting new issues

This policy is in relation to the 5% mark up that can be charged on retail over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, with the exception of new issues. This means that for any OTC transaction, a maximum of 5% can be added to the original price for markup. Option B is incorrect because it talks about discounts, which would not be allowed under this policy. Option C is incorrect because it discusses dividend payout ratios, which are unrelated to markups on retail OTC transactions. Option D is incorrect because it mentions capital gains tax, which is a different concept altogether.
