Karen Dalby, CFA, is a rising star at a major investment bank and has an extremely demanding schedule. To avoid "burning out" new hires, the bank has instituted a mandatory vacation policy which requires employees to take at least 5 days of vacation per year. At the end of the year, Dalby has taken no vacation, but is scheduled to travel to Fiji to take the mandatory 5 days. The bank’s most important client is suddenly targeted in a hostile takeover and asks specifically for Dalby to join the takeover defense team. Her supervisor, Hank Lone, CFA, asks Dalby to cancel her vacation and she complies. Lone is most likely:

A)
not in violation of the Code and Standards.
B)
in violation of Standard IV(A) "Loyalty."
C)
in violation of Standard IV(C) "Responsibilities of Supervisors."


Lone has a responsibility to equally enforce all firm policies to demonstrate that all rules are equally important.

Susan Tigra, CFA, is a portfolio co-manager for the Sandia Energy pension fund. She has been contacted by Ted Garnet, a former classmate. Garnet has started his own investment management firm and would like Sandia Energy to move a portion of its assets to be managed by his firm. Tigra moves 5% of the pension fund to Garnet’s firm to help him build his assets under management. Kurt Show, CFA, is Tigra’s supervisor. Show notes the move, but does not investigate. Show is most likely:

A)
not in violation of the Code and Standards.
B)
in violation of Standard IV(C) "Responsibilities of Supervisors."
C)
in violation of Standard V(A) "Diligence and Reasonable Basis."


Show should review important changes to the portfolio for compliance with firm policies and procedures. The decision to work with Garnet seems arbitrary, and may not be necessary or prudent.
