Neeson carefully goes over the numbers with a couple of project managersat Curare and also two of his analysts at Hindenberry. He concludes from these discussions that the numbers presented by Curare are overly optimistic. The revised numbers would seriously lower the offering price.

Amartya is currently managing the investment fund for a charitable institution and has his fiduciary duties bound by the UMIFA (Uniform Management of Institutional Funds) rules. His colleague, Bhagwati, is a trustee of a personal trust fund set up by the late R. D. Tata, a famous industrialist. Which of the following is/are true about this situation?

  1. Amartya's behavior as a trustee is governed by the "Prudent Man Rule." II. Bhagwati is held to a standard of ordinary business care.
    III. In general, Amartya is held to a lower standard of professional conduct than Bhagwati.
  2. III only
  3. I and II only
  4. I, II and III
  5. I only

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In the US, the investment actions of personal trust fiduciaries is governed by the "Prudent Man Rule," which requires an exercise of care and judgment which people of "prudence, character and intelligence" would use in the management of their personal investment affairs. On the other hand, trustees of charitable funds, when governed by UMIFA, are held to the standard of ordinary business care. This standard is comparable to that which applies to someone of the rank of a director in a business corporation and is not as strict as the Prudent Man Rule. Therefore, Amartya, as a UMIFA fiduciary, is held to a lower standard than Bhagwati. Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties - and the Topical Study "Fiduciary Duty."

Steffanie Graff is an investment advisor with Wimbledon Advisors, Inc. She recently obtained her CFA charter, reflected on her new business cards. In a meeting, she told a couple of her new clients something to the effect

of the following: "I have a long record of successful investment advises, which have led my client accounts to have an annual return of 32% over the past 3 years. I am sure you will be quite satisfied with my performance." In reality, a large part of this return was caused by a very lucky coincidence wherein one of the penny stocks in a client account registered a 200% increase over a short time due to a takeover. Without this, her client accounts would have averaged less than S&P500 on a risk-adjusted basis. Has Stephanie violated the code of ethics?

  1. Yes, because she has misused her CFA charter to imply superior performance.
  2. Yes, because the statements misrepresent her track record.
  3. Yes, since her presentation of her own performance is in violation of the AIMR-PPP.
  4. No, because the statements are factual and she has not promised any future returns.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Standard IV (B.6) - Prohibition against Misrepresentation.

q252: dns poisoning is the correct answer, not locator redirection. beaconing is detected from a host. this indicates that the system has been infected with malware, which could be the source of local dns poisoning. location redirection works by either embedding the redirection in the original websites code or having a user click on a url that has an embedded redirect. since users at a different office are not getting redirected, it isnt an embedded redirection on the original website and since the user is manually typing in the url and not clicking a link, it isnt a modified link.
