问题如下:

Mason Dixon, CFA, a portfolio manager with Langhorne Advisors (Langhorne), has just completed the request for proposal (RFP) for the Academe Foundation’s (the Foundation) $20 million fixed-income mandate. In the performance section of the RFP, Dixon indicated that Langhorne Advisors is a member firm of CFA Institute and has prepared and presented this performance report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (the GIPS® standards). The performance report presented Langhorne’s fixed-income composite returns on the actual net-of fees basis and benchmark returns net of Langhorne’s highest scheduled fee (1.00% on the first $5 million; 0.60% thereafter). The report also indicated that as of the most recent quarter, the composite comprised 10 portfolios totaling $600 million of assets under management (AUM).

Upon returning the completed RFP, Dixon thanked the Foundation’s chief investment officer, who is also a charterholder, for considering Langhorne. Dixon also indicated that regardless of the outcome of the manager search, he would like to have the CIO and the Foundation’s president join him on Langhorne’s corporate jet to spend a day at an exclusive California golf club where the firm maintains a corporate membership.

Q. Identify the ethical concerns posed by Dixon’s actions and conduct.

解释:

Solution

Dixon’s actions and conduct pose multiple ethical concerns.

Dixon’s claim of compliance statement and cover letter, along with Langhorne’s performance report, violate both the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (Code and Standards) and the GIPS standards. Regarding the Code and Standards, Dixon’s statement improperly asserts that CFA Institute has designated Langhorne as a ‘member firm.’ Membership is held by practitioners as individuals, with no related rights extended to the firms at which they work. With this assertion, Dixon has misrepresented Langhorne’s claim of compliance, Standard I(C): Professionalism, Misrepresentation; engaged in conduct that compromised the reputation or integrity of CFA Institute, Standard VII(A): Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Institute Candidate, Conduct as Participants in CFA Institute Programs; and misrepresented or exaggerated the meaning or implications of membership in CFA Institute, Standard VII(B): Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Institute Candidate, Reference to CFA Institute, the CFA Designation, and the CFA Program.

Regarding the GIPS standards and the performance report, presenting composite returns on a net-of-fees basis is acceptable under the GIPS standards. However, it is not appropriate to adjust benchmark returns with a hypothetical fee for comparative purposes (i.e., composite gross-of-fees returns should be compared to unadjusted benchmark returns). This adjustment of Langhorne’s performance report is invalid under the GIPS standards under Section 4.a.1: Disclosure—Requirements. The 1.00% hypothetical fee deducted from benchmark returns is surely greater than the average fee deducted in arriving at composite net-of-fees returns. An average portfolio size of $60 million implies a composite fee percentage of roughly 0.63%, or: {(0.0100 × $5 million) + [0.0060 × ($60 million − $5 million)]}/$60 million = 0.0063 or 0.63%. So, on a relative basis, deducting a larger cost against the benchmark will show Langhorne with a phantom outperformance.

In terms of the Code and Standards, at a minimum, Dixon has presented an inaccurate performance comparison—Standard III(D): Duties to Clients, Performance Presentation—and may have engaged in misrepresentation to the point of misconduct—Standard I(D): Professionalism, Misconduct—since it may be deceitful to cast a more favorable light on the Langhorne composite net-of-fees returns (Section 0.A.7 under Fundamentals of Compliance—Requirements of the GIPS standards).

Dixon’s cover letter invitation for an all-expenses paid outing to an exclusive golf destination can be construed as an attempt to influence the independence and objectivity of the Foundation’s CIO and president—Standard I(B): Professionalism, Independence and Objectivity. While Dixon’s invitation was extended ‘regardless of the outcome of the manager search,’ the offer could be interpreted as a quid pro quo, with future attractive personal benefits available to the Foundation’s executives if a continuing relationship was established by their hiring of Langhorne as a manager.

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


不好意思,同学这道题回复晚了,同学感觉这道题不属于本reading其实是正确的,


因为这个reading原文包括老师讲解的重点内容没有这个知识点。


本题题在原版书V5,370页Reading 28 ■ Case Study in Portfolio Management: Institutional课后题8


视频在原版书习题课Case Study in Risk Management: Institutional Q8~9


Case Study完全不是主要学习内容,CFA其实是在试验渐渐把这些题目加进来,包括一些Python的内容,那么我们关心的当然是会不会考到,以及要学习到什么程度。


目前来说考到的可能性很低,作为例题看一下就好啦。


本题是在说:Langhorne Advisors(Langhorne)的投资组合经理Mason Dixon,CFA,刚刚完成了Academe Foundation(基金会)2000万美元固定收益授权的征求建议书(RFP)。在RFP的绩效部分,Dixon表示Langhorne Advisors是CFA协会的成员公司,并已根据全球投资绩效标准(GIPS®标准)准备并提交了本绩效报告。业绩报告以实际净费用为基础,呈现了Langhorne的固定收益综合回报率,以及扣除Langhorne最高预定费用后的基准回报率(前500万美元为1.00%;之后为0.60%)。该报告还指出,截至最近一个季度,该综合投资组合包括10个投资组合,管理资产总额为6亿美元(AUM)。

在返回完整的RFP后,D同学感谢基金会的首席投资官,CFA,考虑了Langhorne。D同学还表示,无论经理搜索的结果如何,他都希望首席信息官和基金会总裁与他一起乘坐兰霍恩的公司专机,在加州一家独家高尔夫俱乐部度过一天,该公司在那里拥有企业会员资格。


然后题目问有没有违反道德。


这完全是道德的内容,再次强调一下,同学其实是学得的好所以才能判断出来的,这个Case其实就是让同学看一下,大概以后的出题方向吧,因为三级的题目少,所以每道题大家都很重视,同学也看一下。肯定是违反了道德的哈。


首先违反了, Standard I(C): Professionalism, Misrepresentation;

Standard VII(A): Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Institute Candidate,

Standard VII(B): Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Institute Candidate,


因为说Langhorne指定为“成员公司”是错的。只能说个人是CFA,不赋予他们工作的公司的相关权利。

标准I(C):专业精神,虚假陈述;从事损害CFA协会声誉或诚信的行为,

标准VII(A):作为CFA协会会员或CFA协会候选人的责任,作为CFA协会计划的参与者的行为;歪曲或夸大CFA协会会员资格的含义或含义,

标准VII(B):作为CFA协会会员或CFA协会候选人的责任,参考CFA协会,CFA指定和CFA计划。


还有很多,像 misrepresentation to the point of misconduct—Standard I(D): Professionalism,Standard III(D): Duties to Clients。显然答题时不会这样设置得分点,同学把这个题目的讲解视频好好看一遍,理解一下,到考场就可以举一反三了。
