Questions 1:

William Wong, CFA, is an equity analyst with Hayswick Securities. Based on his fundamental analysis, Wong concludes that the stock of a company he follows, Nolvec Inc., is substantially undervalued and will experience a large price increase. He delays revising his recommendation on the stock from “hold” to “buy” to allow his brother to buy shares at the current price. Wong is least likely to have violated the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct related to:

A、 duty to clients.

B、 reasonable basis.

C、 priority of transactions.

Questions 2:

Hui Chen, CFA, develops marketing materials for an investment fund he founded three years ago. The materials show the 3-year, 2-year, and 1-year returns for the fund. He includes a footnote that states in small print “Past performance does not guarantee future returns.” He does not claim compliance with GIPS in the disclosures or footnotes. He also includes a separate sheet showing the most recent semi-annual and quarterly returns, which notes that they have been neither audited nor verified. Has Chen most likely violated any CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?

A 、No.

B 、Yes, because he included un-audited and unverified results.

C 、Yes, because he did not adhere to the Global Investment Performance standards.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct because there is nothing to suggest that Wong does not have a reasonable basis for his conclusion related to Nolvec [Standard V(A)].

A is incorrect because by delaying the revision of his recommendation so that his brother can buy shares at a lower price, he has violated the CFA Institute Standards relating to duty to clients [Standard III(A), Standard VI(B)].

C is incorrect because by delaying the revision of his recommendation so that his brother can buy shares at a lower price, he has violated the CFA Institute Standards relating to priority of transactions [Standard III(A), Standard VI(B)].

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct because the Standards require members to make reasonable efforts to make sure performance information is fair, accurate, and complete. The Standards do not require compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS), auditing, or verification requirements [Standard III(D)].

B is incorrect because the Standards do not require that results be audited or verified unless claiming compliance with GIPS.

C is incorrect because the Standards do not require compliance with GIPS.

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
