Her reevaluation deemed the stock to be overpriced, but she nevertheless decides to purchase for her portfolios. Which standard was NOT broken? A) IV©–Responsibilities of Supervisors. B) IV(A)–Loyalty. C) VI(A)–Disclose of Conflicts. D) I©–Misrepresentation.

who can help me understand the freaking answer?? from schweser q-bank: Your answer: A was incorrect. The correct answer was B) IV(A)–Loyalty. IV(A) Loyalty was not broken because this standard involves going into a business that competes with your employer. IV© Responsibilities of Supervisors was breached because Trader broke several CFA Institute Standards which Cuff should have enforced. VI(A) Disclose of Conflicts was breached because Trader did not disclose that she was on AMD’s board. I© Misrepresentation was broken because Trader purchased stock for her clients even though she thought AMD was a questionable investment.

I© Misrepresentation was broken because Trader purchased stock for her clients even though she thought AMD was a questionable investment. is that really misrepresentation?

#10

I© Misrepresentation was broken because Trader purchased stock for her clients even though she thought AMD was a questionable investment. I thought that would be violation of the reasonable basis.

sounds like duties to clients or standard III to me. act with reasonable care and exercise prudent judgment. But we all know schweser is alwayys right…
