Alba Vasquez allocates trades of hot new IPOs as follows: m*p/(p+s) shares to performance-based fee accounts, m*s/(p+s) shares to standard fee accounts, where there are p suitable performance based fee accounts, s suitable standard fee accounts, and m shares available. This action is:
|
A) |
permissible since it effectively amounts to a strict pro rata basis of allocation. | |
|
B) |
not permissible since it effectively favors the performance-based fee accounts. | |
|
C) |
not permissible since it is based upon a formula that is not inherently fair. | |
