问题如下：

Upon departing from an asset management firm where he was bound by a non-solicitation clause, Jan Loots, CFA, was granted approval to retain his track record for future use but also appropriated the company’s unique trading software. Later, he employed social networking to solicit clientele for his burgeoning fund, limiting viewership to personal connections and past patrons. In this scenario, which action by Loots is most defensible under the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?

选项：

A.Acquisition of the trading software. B.Breach of the non-solicitation covenant. C.Utilization of his performance metrics.

解释：

Option C is justified as Loots had received prior consent to apply his performance history in his new venture, aligning with the standards. Conversely, absconding with the firm's specialized trading software constitutes a clear violation of loyalty and respect for company resources under Standard IV(A). Furthermore, his attempt to attract new clients via social media, potentially accessible to his former firm's clientele, challenges the terms of his non-solicitation agreement, risking a breach of the same standard regarding loyalty to his past employer.
