When complying with Standard IV (B.3) - Fair Dealing, there are certain points one should be sure to address when establishing compliance procedures. Which of the following points is NOT mentioned in the Standards of Practice Handbook?
Answer(s): F
Members have an obligation to ensure that their firms establish compliance procedures requiring all employees who disseminate investment recommendations or actions to treat clients fairly. The number of people privy to an investment recommendation should be limited. The amount of time that lapses between the decision and the dissemination of the recommendation should be shortened. Guidelines must be established to prohibit persons who have prior knowledge from discussing a pending recommendation. Trading activities should be monitored and controlled. Procedures should be established to determine whether a change in an investment recommendation is considered material. The organization should disclose to firms whether or not it offers two or more levels of service to clients for the same or different fees.
Michelieu tells a prospective client, "I may not have a long-term track record yet, but I'm sure that you'll be very pleased with my recommendations and service. In the three years that I've been in the business, my equity- oriented clients have averaged a total return of more than 26 percent a year." The statement is true, but Michelieu only has a few clients and one of his clients took a large position in a penny stock (against Michelieu's advice) and realized a huge gain. This large return caused the average of all of Michelieu's clients to exceed 26 percent a year. Without this one investment, the average gain would have been 8 percent a year. Has Michelieu violated the Standards?
Answer(s): A
Standard IV (B.6), Prohibition against Misrepresentation. Although Micheliu's statement regarding the total return of his client's accounts on average may be technically true, it is misleading because the majority of the gain resulted from one client's large position taken against Micheliu's advice. He has not taken steps to present a fair, accurate and complete presentation of performance. Even though he is not guaranteeing future results, his words are still a misrepresentation of performance. Not disclosing the risk preferences of clients does not make a statement misleading and is not a violation of the Standards in this context.
