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.

  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.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
