Bronson provides investment advice to the board of trustees of a private university endowment fund. The trustees have provided Bronson with the fund’s financial information, including planned expenditures. Bronson receives a phone call on Friday afternoon from Murdock, a prominent alumnus, requesting that Bronson fax him comprehensive financial information about the fund. According to Murdock, he has a potential contributor but needs the information that day to close the deal and cannot contact any of the trustees. Based on the CFA Institute Standards, Bronson should:
选项:
A.Send Murdock the information because disclosure would benefit the client.
B.Not send Murdock the information to preserve confidentiality.
C.Send Murdock the information, provided Bronson promptly notifies the trustees.
解释:
B is correct.
This question relates to Standard III(A) –Loyalty, Prudence, and Care and Standard III(E) –Preservation of Confidentiality. In this case, the member manages funds of a private endowment. Clients, who are, in this case, the trustees of the fund, must place some trust in members and candidates. Bronson cannot disclose confidential financial information to anyone without the permission of the fund, regardless of whether the disclosure may benefit the fund. Therefore, answer A is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because Bronson must notify the fund and obtain the fund’s permission before publicizing the information.
According to Murdock, he has a potential contributor but needs the information that day to close the deal and cannot contact any of the trustees.
