CFA道德规范和专业行为准则练习题"Morality"Exercise:The CFA Designation
Questions 1:
Molly Burnett,CFA,is a portfolio manager for a fund that only invests in environmentally friendly companies.A multinational utility company recently acquired one of the fund’s best performing investments,a wind power company.The wind power company’s shareholders received utility companyshares as part of the merger agreement.The utility has one of the worst environmental records in the industry,but its shares have been one of the top performers over the past 12 months.Because the utility pays a high dividend every three months,Burnett holds the utility shares until the remaining two dividends are paid for the year then sells the shares.Burnett most likely violated the CFA Institute Standard of Professional Conduct concerning:
A、suitability.
B、disclosure of conflicts.
C、independence and objectivity
【Answer to question 1】A
【analysis】
A is correct because the utility is not a suitable investment for a fund that only invests in companies with good environmental records.Continuing to hold this investment,therefore,was a violation of Standard III(C)–Suitability.
B is incorrect because the violation concerns an unsuitable investment.Although the manager has a conflict of interest concerning her desire to hold onto a high dividend stock that has performed well in the past despite it being unsuitable for the Fund,disclosing this would not alleviate the fact that the holding is unsuitable for the Fund that only investments in companies with good environmental records.
C is incorrect because there has not been a violation of independence and objectivity

C、Indicating that being a CFA charterholder has enhanced her portfolio management skills
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
