6. When distributing the material at the industry conference, does Zardt violate any CFA Standards?

选项：

No.

Yes, because Zardt does not verify the accuracy of the information.

Yes, because analysts cannot claim performance or promote the accuracy of their recommendations.

解释：

B is correct.

Zardt violated the Standard relating to Performance Presentation because he did not verify the accuracy of the return information before its distribution. According to Standard III(D), analysts may promote the success or accuracy of their recommendations, but they must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is fair, accurate, and complete. In addition to providing attribution, Zardt should take steps to ensure the accuracy of the data prior to distributing the material.
