Jennifer Ducumon, CFA, is a portfolio manager for high-net-worth individuals at Northeast Investment Bank. Northeast holds a large number of shares in Baby Skin Care Inc., a manufacturer of baby care products. Northeast obtained the Baby Skin Care shares when it underwrote the company's recent IPO. Ducumon has been asked by the investment banking department to recommend Baby Skin Care to her clients, who currently do not hold any shares of Baby Skin Care in their portfolios. Although Ducumon has a favorable opinion of Baby Skin Care, she does not consider the shares a buy at the IPO price or at current price levels. According to the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct, the most appropriate action for Ducumon is to:

选项：

A.recommend the shares after additional analysis.

B.ignore the request.

C.follow the request as soon as the share price declines.

解释：

Ducumon's opinion of the Baby Skin Care shares must not be affected by internal pressure. If Ducumon followed the request from the investment banking department at her company, she would be in violation of Standard I(B): Independence and Objectivity. Ducumon must refuse to recommend the Baby Skin Care shares until they are an attractive purchase based on fundamental analysis and market pricing.
