这道题C选项肯定是违反的,关于Misrepresentation的规定,可以总结为:
故意错误的陈述(Unture statement)、忽略事实(Omission of a fact)、有误导性的陈述(misleading statements),只要向客户陈述时,是以上的情况,就是违反Misreprensentation。
A misrepresentation is any untrue statement or omission of a fact or any statement that is otherwise false or misleading.
然后回到主题干信息,他们要优先推荐Front-end fund,因为利润更高。同时产生利润高的员工有额外奖励,这个就存在Referral fees。因为向客户推荐这个产品,他们会收到这个好处,这个好处可能会影响独立客观性,所以在向客户出售产品前,需要先向客户披露Referral fees:
Disclose to their employer, clients, and prospective clients, as appropriate, any compensation, consideration, or benefit received from or paid to others for the recommendation of products or services.
而合规主管确说:Should not disclose this competition to clients。
所以属于故意隐瞒Facts,违反Misrepresentation;
当然违反了Misrepresentation,肯定也违反了Misconduct。因为Misconduct是限制职业行为的,简单说那些没有操守的职业行为,都是Misconduct。
而A选项Additional compensation这条准则,约束的是员工与雇主之间的关系,当员工因为参与与雇主相竞争的业务,收到的好处、奖励,会影响到雇主的利益时,需要向雇主披露,并且得到书面许可:
must not accept gifts, benefits, compensation, or consideration that competes with or might reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest with their employer’s interest unless they obtain written consent from all parties involved.
例如,员工是分析师,在给外面兼职写报告,会收到额外的报酬,参与与雇主相竞争的业务这会影响雇主利益,,这种额外的报酬需要披露给雇主,并且得到书面许可。
否则就违反了Additional compensation这条。
至于B选项,independence and objectivity是一定违反的,因为只推荐Front-end fund是不行的,推荐什么样的产品应该基于客观的分析,要适合客户。
