The following scenarios involve two analysts at Dupree Asset Management, a small New York-based company with about $150 million in assets under management. Dupree restricts personal trading of stocks analyzed, corporate directorships, trustee positions, and other special relationships that could reasonably be considered a conflict of interest with their responsibilities to their employer.- Ray Bolt, CFA, is a senior investment analyst. Bolt was recently elected to the board of trustees of his alma mater, Midwest University, and was appointed as the chairman of the University's endowment committee. Midwest has more than $2 billion in its endowment. Bolt must travel from New York to Chicago eight times a year to attend meetings of the board of trustees and endowment committee. Bolt did not inform Dupree of his involvement with Midwest University.
- Wanda Delvecco, a candidate in the CFA Program, is a junior investment analyst. She recently wrote a research report on Aveco Communications and recommended the stock for Dupree's "buy" list. Delvecco bought 200 shares of Aveco stock for her personal account 12 months before she wrote her research report. Over the past 12 months, the stock's price has been in the $20-42 price range. Delvecco has not informed Dupree of her ownership of Aveco stock.
According to CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct, which the following statements about Bolt and Delvecco's actions is CORRECT?A)
| Both Bolt and Delvecco violated the Standards. |
| B)
| Delvecco violated the Standards, but Bolt did not. |
| C)
| Neither Bolt nor Delvecco violated the Standards. |
|
Standard VI(A), Disclosure of Conflicts, requires that Bolt inform Dupree of his involvement with Midwest University given that Bolt's new role can be expected to be time consuming and possibly affect his responsibilities at Dupree. Delvecco is required to disclose her ownership of Aveco stock before conducting the research report because such ownership could bias her objectivity in making a recommendation. She should have discussed owning the stock with her supervisor before beginning to write the research report on Aveco. |
