Questions 2:

Belen Zapata,CFA,is the owner of Kawah Investments.Kawah promises investors returns of up to 12%per year and claims to achieve this by investing in non-investment-grade bonds and other fixed-income instruments.Over the next 12 months,bond market yields reach unprecedented lows,and Zapata finds it impossible to achieve the returns she expected.No investments are ever made by Kawah,and clients are completely paid back all of their original investment.Zapata most likely violated the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct because of the:

A、return of capital.

B、promised returns.

C、investment mandate.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct because the member has misrepresented the returns she could realistically achieve for her clients,violating Standard I(C),which prohibits members and candidates from guaranteeing clients any specific return on volatile investments.

A is incorrect because the member has returned investor capital,which is not a violation of the Code and Standards.However,the member has violated Standard I(C),which prohibits members and candidates from guaranteeing clients any specific return on volatile investments.With the return of their capital,investors did not lose their original investment,but they did suffer an economic opportunity loss.

C is incorrect because the investment mandate is not a violation of the Code and Standards.The mandate is very broadly defined and while it may or may not be appropriate,there is not enough information in the vignette to make this determination.The promised,but unachieved,yield is the violation that can be clearly identified
