B include all discretionary, fee- paying portfolios in at least one composite.

pendent third- party verication to claim GIPS compliance. Firms are required to include

all discretionary, fee- paying portfolios in at least one composite. They must also present a

minimum of ve years of annual investment performance compliant with GIPS standards.

3 Vishal Chandarana, an unemployed research analyst, recently registered for

the CFA Level I exam. After two months of intense interviewing, he accepts

a job with a stock brokerage company in a dierent region of the country.

Chandarana posts on a social media blog how being a CFA candidate really

helped him get a job. He also notes how relieved he was when his new employer

didn’t ask him about being red from his former employer. Which CFA

Institute Code of Ethics or Standards of Professional Conduct did Chandarana

least likely violate?

A Misconduct

B Loyalty to Employers

C Reference to the CFA Program

C is correct because there is no evidence Chandarana violated StandardVII(B) with regard

to his being a CFA candidate. Specically, Chandarana does not overstate his competency

or imply he will achieve superior performance as a result of his CFA designation. It does

appear, however, Chandarana did not act with integrity when he hid information that

could potentially harm his new employer’s reputation, thus violating StandardI(D)–

Professionalism (Misconduct) and StandardIV(A)–Duty to Employers (Loyalty).

A is incorrect because it appears Chandarana did not act with integrity when he

hid information that could potentially harm his new employer’s reputation violating

StandardI(D)–Professionalism (Misconduct).

B is incorrect because it appears Chandarana did not act for the benet of his employer

when he hid information that could potentially harm his new employer’s reputation

violating StandardIV(A)–Duty to Employers (Loyalty).

4 Miranda Grafton, CFA, purchased a large block of stock at varying prices

during the trading session. e stock realized a signicant gain in value before

the close of the trading day, so Grafton reviewed her purchase prices to deter-

mine what prices should be assigned to each specic account. According to the

Standards of Practice Handbook, Grafton’s least appropriate action is to allocate

the execution prices:

A across the participating client accounts at the same execution price.

B across the participating client accounts pro rata on the basis of account size.

C on a rst- in, rst- out basis with consideration of bundling orders for

eciency.

B is correct because according to StandardIII(B) best practices include allocating pro

rata on the basis of order size, not account size. All clients participating in the block

trade should receive the same execution price and be charged the same commission.

A is incorrect because according to StandardIII(B) all clients participating in the block

trade should receive the same execution price and be charged the same commission.

C is incorrect because this is one of the recommended procedures to follow for

compliance with StandardIII(B).

5 Lawrence Hall, CFA, and Nancy Bishop, CFA, began a joint research report

on Stamper Corporation. Bishop visited Stamper’s corporate headquarters for

several days and met with all company ocers. Prior to the completion of the

report, Bishop was reassigned to another project. Hall utilized his and Bishop’s

research to write the report but did not include Bishop’s name on the report

because he did not agree with and changed Bishop’s conclusion included in the

nal report. According to the CFA Institute Standards of Practice Handbook,

did Hall most likely violate any CFA Institute Standards of Professional

Conduct?

A No.

B Yes, with respect to misrepresentation.

C Yes, with respect to diligence and reasonable basis.

A is correct because members are in compliance with StandardV (A)–Diligence and

Reasonable Basis if they rely on the research of another party who exercised diligence

and thoroughness. Because Bishop’s opinion did not agree with the nal report, disas-

sociating her from the report is one way to handle this dierence between the analysts.

B is incorrect because Hall did not make any misrepresentation.

C is incorrect because Hall is allowed to rely on a third party who exercised diligence

and thoroughness.

6 Rebecca Wong is enrolled to take the Level I CFA examination. Her friend

William Leung purchased Level I study materials from a well- known CFA

review program the previous year. Leung made a photocopy of the previous

year’s copyrighted materials and sold it to Wong to help her study. Who most

likely violated the CFA Institute Code of Ethics or any Standards of Professional

Conduct?

A Both violated.

B Neither violated.

C Only Leung violated.

A is correct because photocopying copyrighted material, regardless of the year of publi-

cation, is a violation of the CFA Institute Standards [StandardI(A)] as copyrighted materials

are protected by law. Candidates and members must comply with all applicable laws,

rules, and regulations and must not knowingly participate or assist in a violation of laws.

B is incorrect as photocopying copyrighted material, regardless of the year of publi-

cation, is a violation of the CFA Institute Standards.

C is incorrect as photocopying copyrighted material, regardless of the year of publi-

cation, is a violation of the CFA Institute Standards.

C Professional Conduct Division

A is correct. All CFA Institute members and candidates enrolled in the CFA Program are

required to comply with the Code and Standards. The CFA Institute Board of Governors

maintains oversight and responsibility for the Professional Conduct Program (PCP).

B is incorrect. The Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC) works in conjunction with

the PCP and is responsible for enforcement of the Code and Standards.

C is incorrect. The Professional Conduct Division works with the DRC to establish

and review professional conduct policies and is also responsible for enforcing testing

policies of other CFA Institute education programs as well as the professional conduct

Standards, however, as part of their code of ethics. Those who claim compliance should

fully understand the requirements of each of the principles of the Code and Standard.
