X, CFA has a buy recommendation on ABC Corporation. He has done extensive research and published a report in which he has revised his recommendation to sell. The report is still with him and he plans to disseminate it next morning.
Next morning, he sends the updated report and revised recommendation to all the firm's clients by courier simultaneously. Most of the clients will receive the report after 24 hours.
On the same afternoon, a client calls up X, CFA and states that "given that you have a buy recommendation on ABC Corporation, I would like you to purchase 50000 stocks of the firm for my portfolio."
What is best course of action for X, CFA?
A) Place the order as told by the client, without revealing the change in recommendation, since other clients have not received the report yet and hence the recommendation is still considered material nonpublic information.
B) Advise the client that the recommendation has been changed as per a research report and that the client will receive the research report by evening/next morning.
C) Neither of the above. |
