CFA一级考试重点：CFA考试道德部分难点1

 

　　高顿CFA老师建议：

 

　　「道德」放在最后看哦！

 

　　原因很简单，「数量」是后面很多科目的基础，如果不跟上进度，会影响之后科目的复习哦，大家务必要跟上！而「道德」和其他科目的关联度较低，放在最后补上，问题也不是非常大。

 

　　道德会有两篇重难点讲解的文章，今天就先来看第一篇，关于学习22条细则遇到的难点。

 

　　在学习22条细则时，大家普遍反馈有两大难点:

 

　　Gift&Soft dollar

 

　　今天，高顿CFA老师将为大家逐一剖析，可要做好笔记哟！

 

　　难点一：Gift/benefits

 

　　据同学们反馈，在学习Gifts时，往往弄不清楚什么礼物能收，什么礼物不能收？什么情况要披露，什么情况需要得到同意，今天老师就为大家解决这些疑惑。

 

　　同学们之所以会有这些疑惑，是因为在道德中，跟Gifts相关的细则有三条，规定有细微的不一样，老师先带大家看一下这三条细则关于礼物分别如何规定：

 

　　

 

　　Standard I(B).Independence and Objectivity

 

　　Members and Candidates must not offer,solicit,or accept any gift,benefit,compensation,or consideration that reasonably could be expected to compromise their own or another's independence and objectivity.

 

　　ØBest practice：

 

　　Not offer,solicit,or accept any gift,benefit,compensation,or consideration.

 

　　ØExcept：

 

　　l Modest gifts（inexpensive，纪念品）are acceptable.

 

　　l A gift from a client is acceptable,but members and candidates should disclose to their employers prior to accepting such gift/benefit.

 

　　Standard IV(B).Additional Compensation Arrangements

 

　　Members and Candidates must not accept gifts,benefits,compensation,or consideration that competes with or might reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest with their employer’s interest unless they obtain written consent from all parties involved.

 

　　Standard VI(A).Disclosure of Conflicts

 

　　ØDisclosure of Conflicts to Clients-Fee or compensation arrangements that would conflict with clients’interest

 

　　ØDisclosure of Conflicts to Employers-Financial or other pressures that could influence a decision

 

　　难点一相应练习&详细解析

　　Answer:C

 

　　【题目解析】

 

　　这题说的是Morris是Robearn投资公司的有一个高级组合经理。作为他工作的一部分，他经常在Robearn内部做关于现在市场情况以及他关于他负责的行业的众多公司的观点。因为他的高收益和丰富的经验，Morris被邀请在有偿在行业晚宴和会议上发表关于类似问题的公开演讲。根据standard IV(B)Additional Compensation Arrangements，Morris应该：

 

　　A选项说的是拒绝这个offer

 

　　B选项说的是在参加这个活动前吧可能的compensation披露给Robearn

 

　　C选项说的是在参加任何公开演讲前获得所有相关方的书面同意

 

　　这条细则要求的是获得所有相关方的书面同意，选C

 

　　难点二：Soft dollar

 

　　

 

　　下面给大家讲解一下第二个难点，Soft dollar，他是III（A）Standard III(A).Loyalty,Prudence,and Care下的一个知识点，规定如下：

 

　　Soft Commission Policies:assets of clients

 

　　ØWhen selecting broker for clients,members must seek“best transaction cost”and“best execution”

 

　　ØSoft dollars(Soft commissions):Purchase research services

 

　　ØDirected brokerage:A client direct a manager to use the client’s brokerage to purchase services or goods；manager should disclose to the client may not be getting best execution from it.

 

　　这里就不给额外的练习题了

　　A.Carter can trade for his accounts that prohibit soft dollar arrangements under the

 

　　new low-fee trading scheme.

 

　　B.Carter cannot use the new trading scheme because the commissions are prohibited

 

　　by the soft dollar restrictions of the accounts.

　　trading volume to meet his required commission commitment.
