The policy also provides for the exclusion of newly established discretionary accounts from the distribution until they have reached their one-month anniversary date. This policy is disclosed to all existing and potential clients. Did Newton most likely violate any CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?

A. No, because the policy has been adequately disclosed to all existing and potential clients

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】（C）

【analysis】

Under Standard III(B)-Fair Dealing, members and candidates should disclose to clients and prospective clients how they select accounts to participate in and how they determine the amount of securities each account will buy or sell. Trade allocation procedures must be fair and equitable, and disclosure of inequitable allocation methods does not relieve the member or candidate of this obligation. All discretionary accounts should be treated in the same manner. Treating newer accounts differently would be considered inequitable regardless of whether this policy is disclosed.;

【Answer to question 2】（B）

【analysis】

Members should disclose all matters that reasonably could be expected to impair the member's objectivity as outlined in Standard I(B), and Standard VI(A)
