CFA練習(xí)題
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct because research can still be considered diligent and having a reasonable basis if done using a“top down”research methodology as opposed to a“bottom up”methodology.By not communicating to prospective clients the change in the investment process through the delay in the creation of new marketing material,however,Cherogony violates Standard V(B)–Communication with Clients,which requires members and candidates to disclose to clients and prospective clients the basic format and general principles of the investment processes they use to analyze investments,select securities,and construct portfolios and must promptly disclose any changes that might materially affect those processes.As a supervisor,Cherogony is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code and Standards.
A is incorrect because by delaying the change in the marketing material until the inventory is depleted,there is a possibility that the new investment process policy will not be clearly communicated to prospective clients.As a supervisor,Cherogony is responsible to ensure the compliance with the Code and Standards.
B is incorrect because Cherogony violates Standard V,which requires members and candidates to disclose to clients and prospective clients the basic format and general principles of the investment processes they use to analyze investments,select securities,and construct portfolios and must promptly disclose any changes that might materially affect those processes.By delaying the change in the marketing material until the inventory is depleted,there is a possibility that the new investment process policy will not be clearly communicated to prospective clients.
