That's tricky, I have to look it up but I think CFAI recommends 7 years if no legal requirements exist.

NO EXCUSES

7 years *if* no legal requirements exist
BUT if law says 5, then 5

T is the answer. Thanks for explanation.

4, From time to time, PIA receives initial public offering (IPO) allocations from FTI. Danko allocates these IPOs to those discretionary accounts that normally participate in IPOs. If the IPO is oversubscribed, he excludes his wife’s discretionary non-fee-paying account so that he is not accused of bias when allocating the oversubscribed IPOs.

Danko’s decision to purchase shares that are recommended as a “strong buy” violates the CFA Institute Standards.

True or False?

False. Why would it? Those accounts normally participate in IPOs
