13. Connie Fletcher, CFA, works for a small money management firm that specializes in pension account. Recently, a friend asked her to act as an unpaid volunteer manager for the city's street sweep pension fund. As part of the position, the city would grant Fletcher a free parking space in front of her downtown office. Fletcher is considering the offer. Before she accepts she should:

A, do nothing since this is a volunteer position

B, inform her current clients in writing and discuss the offer with her employer

C, inform her current clients in writing, get their permission, and discuss the offer with her employer

D, disclose the details of the volunteer position to her employer and obtain written permission from her employer

答案是D，我也理解答案的理由。可是它并没有解释为什么不选B，难道她不需要告诉客户吗？我是觉得她承担了志愿管理者的职位以后可能会分散她的投资精力，这样对客户的利益会造成潜在的冲突，所以也有必要跟客户说。

请教了，为什么不用告知客户？谢谢

She has only one employer, but she may have 1000 clients. It is more reasonable for her to report to her employer rather than her clients.

D is the best answer. B can be right, but not the best one.

She has no obligation to disclose these information to her clients. Her sole responsibility of disclosing these potential conflict of interest is ONLY to her supervisor or employer.
