Which violations of ethics take place in this question

  1. A member selects an outside advisor for international equities based solely on the fact that the selected firm has the lowest fees for managing the international equities accounts.

  2. A member makes a presentation for an offering his firm is underwriting, using maximum production levels as his estimate in order to justify the price of the shares he is recommending for purchase

  3. A member screens a database of investment managers and sends a recommendation of five of them to a client. Subsequently, but before the client receives the report, one of recommended firms loses its head of research and several key portfolio managers. The member does not update her report.

Is that you edupristine??

lol, nope! answer the Qs

I would argue 1 understandard V (A) As a manager should investigate other things about the firm.

  1. There could be justification for the recommendation at full production.

  2. They recieved the information after they sent the report. When the client make the decision the manager can update about any materiality.

all look fine to me

  1. According to the standards, it is uncool to select based on fees alone. 2. He should estimate based on all possible scenarios. Not just max production level. 3. The member should update any recommendation based on information that would nullify his previous advice(accurate information gotten the right way.)
