Daniel Lyons, CFA, is an analyst who covers several stocks including Horizon
Company. Lyons's aunt owns 30,000 shares of Horizon. She informs Lyons that
she has created a trust in his name into which she has placed 2,000 shares of
Horizon. The trust is structured so that Lyons will not be able to sell the shares
until his aunt dies, but may vote the shares. Lyons is due to update his research
coverage of Horizon next week. Lyons should most appropriately:
A. update the report as usual because he is not a beneficial owner of the stock.
B. advise his superiors that he is no longer able to issue research
recommendations on Horizon.
C. disclose the situation to his employer and, if then asked to prepare a report,
also disclose his beneficial ownership of the shares in his report. - ✔ ✔ C Even
though the shares are held in trust, Lyons is considered a beneficial owner under
Standard VI(A) Disclosure of Conflicts because he has a pecuniary interest in the
shares
and because has the power to vote the shares. Lyons is obligated to inform
his employer
of the potential conflict. If Lyons's employer permits him to continue
issuing investment
recommendations on the company, Lyons must disclose the existence of
a potential
conflict in his reports.
,Kate Wilson, CFA, is an equity analyst. Wilson enters two transactions for her
personal account. Wilson sells 500 shares ofTibon, Inc., a stock on which her

Hayfield Co. and the following day issues a research report on Hayfield with a

A. No.
B. Yes, both of her actions violate the Code and Standards.
C. Yes, but only one of her actions violates the Code and Standards. - ✔ ✔ C Only
one of these transactions is a violation. Standard VI(B) Priority of Transactions
requires members and candidates to give clients an adequate opportunity to act
on
a recommendation before trading for accounts in which the member or candidate
has a beneficial ownership interest. Members and candidates may trade for
their own
accounts as long as they do not disadvantage clients, benefit personally
from client
trades, or violate any regulations that apply. The Standard does not prohibit
members
and candidates from entering personal transactions that are contrary to what
their firms
are recommending for clients, as long as the transaction does not violate any of
these
criteria.

the recommendation of
services.

CPA Havm to express her frustration. White writes, "CFA Institute is not doing a

Standard related to conduct as a candidate in the CFA program by: A. publicly
disputing CFA Institute policies and procedures.
