标题[心得] CFA L1问题-你问我答(八)
时间Mon Nov 3 17:18:52 2008
老师你好,我是一位正在自修考12月的学生Gary,想请教您CFA中专业行为准则的
additional compensation arrangement及disclosure of conflicts,要如何分辨。我在
写08 study notes模拟试题exam 2/afternoon session/13题遇到困难,望老师拨冗指教
,感激不尽!
答覆:
针对你的问题,我以下列三段来回答你:
一、题目的英文原文;二、中文的题意;三、解题技巧。
一、题目的英文原文如下:
13. Marie Marshall, CFA, is a registered representative for Everest Broker -
Dealer who maintains a client base of high net worth individuals, trusts,
endowments, and foundations. Such clients pay Everest a quarterly fee, as
well as reduced commission costs on securities transactions. Marshall
receives compensation based on the overall success of the firm, along with a
recently implemented quarterly bonus based on the trading volume in her
clients ' accounts. During her annual portfolio reviews with clients,
Marshall receives several questions regarding recent increases in portfolio
turnover. Marshall truthfully indicates that recent increases in volatility
caused the firm to make more tactical investment recommendations in client
portfolios which resulted in increased portfolio turnover during the period.
By not disclosing the new compensation arrangement, Marshall has:
A. violated Standard V ( B ) Communication with Clients and Prospective
Clients.
B. violated Standard IV ( B ) Additional Compensation Arrangements.
C. violated Standard VI ( A ) Disclosure of Conflicts.
D. not violated the Standards of Professional Conduct.
二、中文题意如下:
Marshall, CFA为Everest经纪商-交易商的注册代表。该公司的主要客户为高净值个人、
信托、捐赠基金与基金会。这些客户每季付费给公司。该公司最近增加新的季奖金办法,
根据客户帐户交易量作为发放奖金的标准。Marshall在与客户检讨年投资组合绩效时,客
户质疑投资组合所增加的周转率。Marshall说明公司真正是因为最近市场的波动较大,因
而提供较多策略性的投资建议,使得该期的投资组合周转率较大。若Marshall未揭露新的
酬劳约定,则:
A. 违反V(B)与客户及潜在客户沟通的准则
B. 违反IV(B)额外报酬约定的准则
C. 违反VI(A)利益冲突的揭露
D. 未违反职业行为准则
答案:C正确
三、解题技巧:
在VII.利益冲突之(A)冲突的揭露准则之下:
CFA会员与CFA考生应向现有及潜在客户揭露「会伤害独立性或客观性之事项」。
该题的Marshall并未揭露「公司最近所实施的季奖金,系根据客户帐户交易量多寡为发放
标准」。
因为Marshall的奖金来自客户帐户的交易量,因此很容易为了增加奖金而增加投资组合周
转率。可是客户投资组合的周转率一增加,就会增加客户的费用。显然Marshall与客户的
利益有了冲突。雇主发放的季奖金是一个「会伤害独立性或客观性的事实」,即使
Marshall真正是为了客户的利益而须增加投资组合的周转率(如题目所言),仍因为
Marshall未揭露新的酬劳约定,而就违反「利益冲突的揭露」,因此答案为C。
考生若对「额外酬劳约定」的定义了解得不够深入,就会在这里容易被搞混。
在IV对雇主的责任之(B)额外酬劳约定准则之下:
「额外酬劳是客户的直接与间接酬劳或从第三者收到的利益」。而本题的季奖金系由雇主
所发放,并不是由客户或第三者所给予,故不符合「额外酬劳」的定义内。因此,本题并
未违反「额外酬劳约定」。
