问题如下:
Carlos Cruz, CFA, is one of two founders of an equity hedge fund. Cruz manages the fund's assets, and the other co-founder, Brian Burkeman, CFA, is responsible for fund sales and marketing. Cruz notices the most recent sales material used by Burkeman indicates assets under management are listed at a higher value than the current market value. Burkeman justifies the discrepancy by stating recent market declines account for the difference. To comply with the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct, Cruz should least likely take which of the following actions?
选项:
A.Provide a disclaimer in marketing materials indicating prices are as of a specific date.
B.Report the discrepancy to CFA Institute's Professional Conduct Program.
C.Correct the asset information and provide updates to prospective clients.
解释:
A violation of Standard I(A): Knowledge of the Law is likely to occur unless the asset base information is corrected. Cruz has yet to violate any CFA Institute standards, so he need not report a violation. If Cruz does not take action, however, he will be in violation of the standards and at that point would need to report this violation under Standard I(A). The member should know his conduct may contribute to a violation of applicable laws, rules, regulations, or the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct related to the inaccurate sales materials. Cruz should seek to have the information corrected and accurate information provided to prospective clients. It may also be prudent to seek the advice of legal counsel老师可以翻译一下这题吗,没太明白
