i was reading ethics and thought there arent really that many things CFAI can test us on. its always the ambiguous concept that cost us. for example, ITS ok for buy-side analysts to do certain things not allowed for the sale-side analysts. so if we all contribute a post on a concept or example that fits the ambiguous concept criteria we can save so much time by not having to reread all the standards again. FOR example, Voting for ALL proxies may not benefit the clients the most because investment managers should dedicate more time to researching and making investment decisions. Investment managers should have proxy voting policies in place and disclose those to clients, but the policies should remain confidential to others. This concept can be found on PG55 of the Standards of Practice Book.
ITs ok to solicit clients from former employers after leaving the firm 1. not using client list from former employer 2. absence of non-compete agreement
