The readings in this study session establish a framework for ethical conduct in
the investment profession. The principles and guidance presented in the
CFA Institute Standards of Practice Handbook (Handbook) form the basis for the
CFA Institute self-regulatory program to maintain the highest professional
standards among investment practitioners. A clear understanding of the CFA
Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (both found in the
Handbook) should allow practitioners to identify and appropriately resolve ethical
conflicts, leading to a reputation for integrity that benefits both the individual
and the profession. Material under “Guidance” in the Handbook addresses the
practical application of the Code and Standards. The guidance for each standard
reviews its purpose and scope, presents recommended procedures for
compliance, and provides examples of the standard in practice.

STUDY SESSION 2
ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL
STANDARDS IN PRACTICE

Using examples and case studies, the readings in this study session
demonstrate the use of the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of
Professional Conduct as a body of principles for ethical reasoning and decision
making. The readings serve as effective aids in understanding and internalizing
the values and standards presented in the CFA Institute Standards of Practice
Handbook. By applying the Code and Standards to case study conflicts, the
candidate will gain experience identifying and explaining fundamental principles
of conduct that serve as the basis for dealing with real world challenges.
The Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct uses the basic tenets of the
CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct to establish
ethical and professional standards for firms managing client assets. The Asset
Manager Code of Professional Conduct also extends the Code and Standards to
address investment management firm practices regarding trading, compliance,
security pricing, and disclosure.

This study session first compares and contrasts the different market structures
in which companies operate. The market environment influences the price a
company can demand for its goods or services. The most important of these
market forms are monopoly and perfect competition, although monopolistic
competition and oligopoly are also covered.
The study session then introduces the macroeconomic concepts that have
an effect on all companies in the same environment, be it a country, a group
of related countries, or a particular industry. The study session concludes
by describing how an economy’s aggregate supply and aggregate demand
are determined.

STUDY SESSION 1 – ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
CFA INSTITUTE CODE OF ETHICS AND STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL
CONDUCT
Cross-Reference to CFA Institute Assigned Readings #1 & 2
Ethics will be tested in two selected resp9nse item sets. The distracters (incorrect
choices) will all appear indistinguishable unless you have learned to think in the
spirit of the Code and Standards. The best way to do this is through the practice
questions contained in the Handbook and Book 1 of the SchweserNotesTM.
As you read this material, keep in mind that it is assumed you have already
read/studied the Code and Standards and our coverage in the SchweserNotes. As
such, this material represents a downsizing of the material in our SchweserNotes
without the LOS, concept checkers, applications (examples), and cases. Given
a familiarity with the Code and Standards, this critical core of the Code and
Standards should be all you need for that last push before the exam.
Code ofEthics
Members ofCFA Institute, including Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®)
charterholders, and Candidates for the CFA designation (~’Members and
Candidates") must: 1
Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect, and in an ethical manner with
. the public, clients, prospective clients, employers, employees, colleagues in the
investment profession, and other participants in the global capital markets.
Place the integrity of the investment profession and the interests of clients above
their own personal interests.

I Study Sessions 1 & 2
Ethics
r
Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment when
conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, taking
investment actions, and engaging in other professional activities.
Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner
that will reflect credit on themselves and the profession.
Promote the integrity of, and uphold the rules governing, capital markets.
Maintain and improve their professional competence and strive to maintain and
improve the competence ofother investment professionals.
GUIDANCE FOR STANDARDS I-VII
I. Professionalism
I(A). Knowledge of the Law. Members must understand and comply with
laws, rules, regulations, and Code and Standards of any authority governing their
activities. In the event of a conflict, follow the more strict law, rule, or regulation.
Guidance
Members must know the laws and regulations relating to dteir professional
activities in all countries in which they conduct business. Do not violate Code or
Standards even if the activity is otherwise legal. Always adhere to the most strict
rules and requirements (law or CPA Institute Standards) that apply.
Dissociate from any ongoing client or employee activity that is illegal or unethical,
even if it involves leaving an employer (an extreme case). While a Member
may confront the involved individual first, he must approach his supervisor or
compliance department. Inaction with continued association may be construed as
knowing participation.

Recommended Procedures for Compliance
Members should keep up with changes in applicable laws, rules, and regulations:
Review compliance procedures on an ongoing basis to assure that they address
cutrent law, CPAl Standards, and regulations.
Maintain current reference materials.
Seek advice of counsel or compliance department when in doubt.
Document any violations when they disassociate themselves from prohibited
activity and encourage employers to bring an end to such activities.
There is no requirement under the Standards to report violations to
governmental authorities, but this may be advisable in some circumstances and
required by law in others.

Members should encourage their firms to:
Develop and/or adopt a code ofethics~
Make information available that highlights applicable laws and regulations.
Establish written procedures for reporting suspected violations.
I(B). Independence and Objectivity. Use reasonable care to exercise
independence and objectivityin professional activities. Do not offer, solicit, or
accept any gift, benefit, compensation, or consideration that would compromise
independence and objectivity.
Guidance

CFA三级考试真题及答案（2009年）下载

QUESTION 1 HAS FOUR PARTS (A, B, C, D) FOR A TOTAL OF 26 MINUTES.

Patricia and Alexander Tracy, both age 59, are residents of Canada. They have twin sons who
will enter a four-year university program in one year. Patricia is a long-time employee of a
telecommunications company. Alexander is a self-employed sales consultant.

Alexander’s annual income is now steady after years of extreme highs and lows. The Tracys
have built an investment portfolio through saving in Alexander’s high income years. The
Tracys’ current annual income is equal to their total expenses; as a result, they cannot add to
savings currently. They expect that both their expenses and income will grow at the inflation
rate. All medical costs, now and in the future, are fully covered through government programs.

The Tracys worry about whether they have saved enough for retirement, and whether they will
be able to maintain the real value of their portfolio. Inflation is expected to average 4% for the
foreseeable future.

The Tracys have approached Darren Briscoe to help them analyze their investment strategy and
retirement choices. The Tracys disagree about the appropriate investment strategy. Patricia
prefers not losing money over making a high return. This is partly a result of continuing regret
for a loss experienced in an equity mutual fund several years ago. Alexander’s history of making
frequent changes in their portfolio greatly annoyed Patricia. She thinks Alexander focused only
on potential return and paid little attention to risk.

The Tracys currently have all their assets in inflation-indexed, short-term bonds that are expected
to continue to earn a return that would match the inflation rate after taxes. After retirement, they
are willing to consider changing their investment strategy if necessary to maintain their lifestyle.

The Tracys are eligible to retire next year at age 60. If they do, Patricia will receive annual
payments from her company’s defined-benefit pension plan and both Patricia and Alexander will
receive payments from the Canadian government pension plan. Alexander does not participate
in any company or individual retirement plan. Briscoe has compiled financial data and market
expectations for the Tracys’ retirement, shown in Exhibit 1. Currently, Briscoe estimates that the
Tracys’ investment portfolio will grow to 1,100,000 Canadian dollars (CAD) by their retirement
date next year.

Pension income from both Patricia’s company plan and the government pension plan is fully
indexed for inflation. Briscoe expects a tax rate of 20% to apply to the Tracys’ withdrawals from
the investment account. The Tracys expect to earn no employment income after retirement. The
Tracys’ residence is not considered part of their investable assets.

The Tracys have the option to delay retirement until age 65. The Tracys intend to retire together,
whether it is in 2010 at age 60 or in 2015 at age 65.

Briscoe determines that if the Tracys retire at age 60, their risk tolerance is below average. If
they retire at age 60, they plan to pay off their mortgage and associated taxes by withdrawing
CAD 100,000 from their portfolio upon retirement.

Another consideration for the Tracys relates to funding university expenses for their sons. If the
Tracys retire at age 60, each son will receive a scholarship available to retiree families from
Patricia’s company that will cover all university costs.

If the Tracys retire at age 65, all pension income would increase and would almost meet their
annual spending needs. If they retire at age 65, the Tracys would pay all university expenses
from their investment portfolio through an arrangement with the university. The arrangement,
covering both sons, would require the Tracys to make a single payment of CAD 200,000 at age
60.

QUESTION 1 HAS FOUR PARTS (A, B, C, D) FOR A TOTAL OF 36 MINUTES.

Roberto and Mariana Carvalho live in a large city in Brazil with their two children, ages four and
two. Roberto is 30 years old and Mariana will be 30 years old later this month. Roberto is a
manager in a manufacturing facility and Mariana is a musician in the local symphony orchestra.

Roberto and Mariana’s annual salaries total 120,000 Brazilian reais (BRL) after tax. Their
salaries just cover their living expenses. The average annual inflation rate is four percent and
their salaries and expenses are expected to increase at this rate. They are healthy and believe
their jobs and earning potential are secure. The Carvalhos’ salaries, dividends, and interest are
taxed at 20 percent, and capital gains at 15 percent.

Mariana’s parents have significant wealth and funded an irrevocable personal trust for her.
Brazil has a wealth transfer tax that applies to transfers into trusts and to inheritances. Brazil has
adopted the Prudent Investor Rule for the administration of trusts. The current value of the trust
is BRL 1,500,000. The terms of the trust state that when Mariana reaches the age of 30, she will
receive a tax-free distribution of half the value of the trust. The balance of the trust will remain
invested and will distribute in total to her when she reaches age 40. Since she does not have
access to the remaining balance for ten years, this balance is not considered a part of the
Carvalhos’ investable assets, but is part of their total net worth. In addition, Mariana expects to
inherit a substantial sum of money upon the death of both parents.

The Carvalhos have BRL 500,000 in investable assets, currently all in short-term bank deposits.
It is their intention to maintain at least this amount in investable assets, on an inflation-adjusted
basis, in the future.
The Carvalhos currently live with Mariana’s parents, but are now purchasing a home. The
purchase price of the home is BRL 850,000. The down payment is 30 percent of the cost of the
home and will be funded from the trust distribution. The Carvalhos will take out a fixed rate
mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. The after-tax mortgage cost will be fixed at
BRL 55,000 (principal and interest) annually for 30 years, with the first annual payment due one
year from now.

The Carvalhos’ immediate investment goal is to have their investment portfolio cover the cost of
the mortgage, while maintaining the portfolio’s inflation-adjusted value. They plan to retire at
the age of 60 and their long-term goal is to have an investment portfolio that will provide an
annual income comparable to their current salaries adjusted by inflation. Their family health
insurance is provided by Roberto’s employer, both now and in retirement. They are hopeful
their two children will attend the local university at no cost. The university does not charge
tuition fees for qualified students who pass its entrance exam. Those who do not pass the exam
are required to pay full tuition, which is high relative to the Carvalhos’ living expenses.

In order to meet their investment goals, the Carvalhos realize they need to consider investments
other than short-term bank deposits. The Carvalhos hire Luiz Oliveira, CFA, to manage an
investment portfolio that they will fund with their BRL 500,000 in bank deposits and the net
proceeds of Mariana’s trust distribution at age 30.

QUESTION 22 HAS THREE PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF 28 MINUTES

Hugh Donovan is chief financial officer of LightSpeed Connections (LSC), a rapidly growing U.S. technology
company. The company provides a traditional defined benefit pension plan. Because of LSC’s young
workforce, Donovan believes the pension plan has no liquidity needs and can therefore invest aggressively to
maximize pension assets. He also believes that Treasury bills and bonds, yielding 5.4 percent and 6.1 percent
respectively, have no place in a portfolio with such a long time horizon. Therefore, his strategy is to invest the
portfolio as follows:

– 50 percent in a concentrated pool (15 to 20 stocks) of initial public offerings (IPOs) in technology and
internet companies, managed internally by Donovan
– 25 percent in a small-capitalization growth fund
– 10 percent in a venture capital fund
– 10 percent in an S&P 500 index fund
– 5 percent in an international equity fund

Donovan has produced excellent returns utilizing this strategy for the past two years.

A. Evaluate Donovan’s investment strategy with respect to its effect on each of the following:

i. LSC’s pension plan beneficiaries
ii. Managing pension assets in relation to LSC’s corporate strength

Eileen Jeffries, LSC’s president, notes the strong returns of the plan but believes LSC needs a formal
investment policy statement (IPS). Working with the Investment Committee, Jeffries writes the following IPS:

“The LSC Pension Plan’s return objective should focus on real total returns that will fund its long-term
obligations on an inflation-adjusted basis. The “time to maturity” of the corporate workforce is a key
element for any defined pension plan; given our young workforce, LSC’s Plan has a long investment
horizon and more time available for wealth compounding to occur. Therefore the Plan can pursue an
aggressive investment course and focus on the higher return potential of capital growth. Under present
U.S. tax laws, pension plan portfolio income and capital gains are not taxed. The portfolio should focus
primarily on investments in businesses directly related to our main business to leverage our knowledge
base.”

QUESTION 23 HAS TWO PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF 21 MINUTES

Susan Leighton, treasurer for Donner Life Insurance, a U.S. based company, has just joined the board of a
charitable organization that has a large endowment portfolio. She is researching how the investment policy for
an endowment is different from that of life insurance companies.

She has reached the following conclusions:

1. Both endowments and life insurance companies have aggressive return requirements.
2. Endowments are less willing to assume risk than life insurance companies because of donor concerns about
volatility and loss of principal.
3. Endowments are less able to assume risk than life insurance companies because of expectations that
endowments should provide stable funding for charitable operations.
4. Endowments have lower liquidity requirements than life insurance companies because endowment spending
needs are met through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.
5. Both endowments and life insurance companies are subject to stringent legal and regulatory oversight.

A. Indicate whether each of Leighton’s statements is correct or incorrect. If incorrect, justify your
response by citing one reason.

CFA三级基础班讲义SS11-12 Equity Investments & SS13 Alternative Investments–pdf下载

1. The role of the equity portfolio
Equities are a substantial portion of the investment universe, and US
equity typically constitutes about half of the world equities.
In the US, institutional investors hold about 60 % of their portfolio in
equities. In Europe, the percentage is closer to 20%.
US and in other countries indicates that equities have been a good inflation
hedge.
There are some important qualifiers, however.
First, because corporate income and capital gains tax rates are not
indexed to inflation, inflation can reduce the stock investor’s return,
unless this effect was priced into the stock when the investor bought it.
Second, the ability of an individual stock to hedge inflation will depend
on its industry and competitive position. The greater the competition,
the less likely the firm will be able to pass inflation on to its consumers,
and its stock will be a less effective hedge·
Examined the historical record in 17 countries from 1900—2005, equities
have had consistently positive real returns. Equities have also had higher
real returns than bonds in all 17 countries.

3. Passive equity investing
Index vs. weighting
There are 3 weighting choices:
Price weighted;
Value weighted; and
Equal weighted.
Price weighted
Each stock in the index is weighted according to its absolute share
price;
The performance of index represents the performance of a portfolio
that simply bought and held one share of each index component.
It is biased towards the highest-priced share.

3. Passive equity investing
Value weighted
Each stock is weighted according to its market cap;
the performance of a portfolio that owns all the outstanding shares of
each index component.
Float-weighted
Involves adjustment of market cap weights for each issue’s
floating supply of shares – the shares outstanding that are
actually available to investors;

资产分配种类
战略性资产分配（Strategic Asset Allocation）
战略性资产分配是从资本市场预期出发，在综合投资者投资目标、投资偏好和
投资限制后，根据投资者负债特性，依据收益/风险最大化原则（Efficient
Frontier）所产生的投资资产在不同投资品种上的分配。战略性资产分配所制
定的是长期资产分配目标，是静态的管理分配
其次是战术性资产分配（Tactic Asset Allocation）
战术性资产分配是指在战略性资产分配的范围内，根据现实市场收益/风险情
况以及负债现金流所作出的中短期资金分配。战术性资产分配是基于短期资本
市场预期所作出的不同于战略性资产的分配，是动态的分配管理
其三则是证券选择（Security Selection）
战略性资产分配层面包括资产负债匹配管理、制定公司中长期投资策略、资产
分配策略和风险控制策略；战术性资产分配层面具体涉及到每个帐户的投资组
合管理；证券选择层面包括对具体投资品种的研究和操作，涉及到银行存款、
债券、基金和回购。阶段性的战略性资产审阅、持续的战术性资产分配和相应
的证券选择就组成了资产组合分配完整而动态的循环

资产分配的重要性
1. To provide discipline, that is, to maintain focus on objectives
and constraints.
2. Well established empirically.
One study shows that 94 % of the variability of total portfolio
returns is explained by the strategic asset allocation .
Another study shows that more than 100% of the long-term
performance of a portfolio is explained by its strategic asset
allocation .
These results suggest that the returns to market timing and
security selection ( tactical allocation ) are minimal at best
and at worst insufficient to cover the associated operating
expenses and trading costs .

Risk measurement—VAR
Additional types of VARs
Stressing models
Evaluate active risk (tracking error)
Credit risk
Manage risk
Manage credit risk
Measure risk-adjusted performance
Set capital requirements

Evaluate risk management system
1. Senior management allocates capital on a risk-adjusted basis
2. The ERM system properly identifies all relevant risk factors
3. The ERM system utilizes an appropriate model
4. Risks are properly managed
5. There is a committee in place to oversee the entire system
6. The ERM system has built-in checks and balances

VAR-Monte Carlo method
A Monte Carlo output specifies the expected 1-week portfolio
return and standard deviation as 0.00188 and 0.0125,
respectively.
Calculate the 1-week value at risk at 5% significance.
Advantage: the ability to incorporate any returns distribution or
asset correlation .
Disadvantage: The analyst must make thousands of
assumptions about the returns distributions for all inputs as
well as their correlations . The seeming sophistication of the
method can also lead to a false sense of securities (garbage in,
garbage out)

Assume we calculate a one-week VaR for a natural gas
position by rescaling the daily VaR using the square-root rule.
Let us now assume that we determine the “true” gas price
process to be mean reverting and recalculate the VaR. Which
of the following statements is true?
A. The recalculated VaR will be less than the original VaR.
B. The recalculated VaR will be equal to the original VaR
C. The recalculated VaR will be greater than the original VaR
D. There is no necessary relation between the recalculated VaR
and the original VaR

1.养老基金（Pension funds）
–界定利益计划
界定利益计划：由养老金资产支付养老金负债。计划发起人的精算师需要根
据未来劳动力变化、薪酬水平及变化、提前退休人数比例、雇员预期寿命等
因素估算养老金负债金额以及这些负债的现值。养老金负债也等于已退休
（retired）和在职（active）员工的负债之和。
养老金盈亏状态（funded status）：养老金资产的市场价值（market
value）与养老金负债的现值（present value）的关系。当资产市场价值大
于等于负债现值的时候称为资金充足计划（Fully funded plan），当资产市
场价值小于负债现值的时候称为资金不足计划（under-funded plan）。

1.养老基金（Pension funds）
–界定利益计划
养老金负债共有三个定义：
累计利益负债（accumulated benefit obligation）：假设养老金计划现在
立即终止，所有已累计利益负债的现值，不考虑未来薪酬的增长因素。
预计利益负债（projected benefit obligation）：考虑未来薪酬的增长因素
情况下估算的利益负债现值。通常盈亏状态的计算要用预计利益负债。
总体未来负债（total future obligation）：最全面但也最不确定的方法，包
括累计利益和预计未来利益的现值。
说明：简单公式：

1.养老基金（Pension funds）
–界定供款计划
界定供款计划的两个关键问题：
第一，分散化（diversification），即计划发起人需要为计划受益人提供一个
分散化的投资选项列表。
第二，公司股票（company stock），即养老金计划投资于发起人公司股票
的比例须有所限制。
界定供款计划的投资策略书（IPS）与界定利益计划的很不一样，前者发起
人只需提供一个分散化的投资列表并对受益人提供投资教育，具体的投资是
由受益人自己负责的。因此，DC的IPS仅规定投资、运作的基本原则，没有
具体的收益率、风险容忍度等指标，请参见reading 2—p280 。

–混合计划及其它
混合计划及其它（hybrid and other plans）
混合养老金计划包括现金余额计划(cash balance plan)、养老金股权计划
(pension equity plan)、目标利益计划(target benefit plan)和最低限计划(floor
plan)
共同的特点是把DC计划好的方面（比如，可转移(portability)、管理方便
(administrative ease)等）和DB计划好的方面（比如，利益保障(benefit
guarantees)、服务年限回报(years of service rewards)、与薪酬挂钩(link
retirement pay to a percentage of salary)等）结合起来，其中以现金余额计
划和员工持股计划（employee stock ownership plan, ESOP）最普遍。

Analiste was an analyst under Heade. One day he told Heade that he had
some private information suggesting that an unnamed South American oil
service stock was “ready to pop” and asked for his guidance on whether the
stock could be widely owned by the company’s clients. Heade said “You are
one of our most experienced analysts. Do what you think is right.”
Which of the following most accurately describes whether Heade fulfilled his
supervisory responsibilities under the CFA Standards?
A. Heade was entitled to delegate responsibility to senior analysts with broad
experience such as Analiste, and is not required to approve each stock
selection.
B. Heade should have been sensitive to several “warning flags” presented by
Analiste’s state of mind, choice of investment and sources of information, and
brevity of disclosure. Heade should have taken a careful look at the situation.

10. Interest Rate Options P59
For interest rate options, the exercise price is an interest
rate, and payoffs depend on a reference rate such as
LIBOR
The combination of a long interest rate call option plus
a short interest rate put option has the same payoff as
an FRA. One difference is that interest rate option
payoffs are made after the option expiration date at a
date corresponding to the end of the loan period
specified in the contract (30-day, 60-day, 90-day LIBOR,
etc.). Recall that FRAs pay the present value of this
interest difference at settlement.

12. Delta Hedging P73
Delta hedging a derivative position means combining
the option position with a position in the underlying
asset to form a portfolio, whose value does not change
in reaction to changes in the price of the underlying
over a short period of time
Delta-hedged portfolio: long n stocks and short n/delta calls
The delta-neutral hedging is a dynamic process, since the
delta is constantly changing

13. The Second-Order Gamma Effect
P79
The gamma defines the sensitivity of the option delta
to a change in the price of the underlying asset
gamma = (delta1?delta0)/(S1?S0) = Δdelta/ΔS
Three things to remember about Gamma:
Call and put options on the same stock with the same T and
X have equal gammas
A long position in calls or puts will have a positive gamma
Gamma is largest when the option is at-the-money. If the
option is deep in- or out-of-the-money, gamma approaches
zero

QUESTION 3 HAS ONE PART FOR A TOTAL OF 12 MINUTES.
John Nultione was recently hired as a portfolio manager with Equity Advisors (EA). As part of
his responsibilities, Nultione prepares market forecasts for the firm’s chief investment officer,
Walt Hyatt. The U.S. equity market declined by 20 percent last year. After constructing a model
of factors affecting the market, Nultione becomes convinced that U.S. market returns will be
13.47 percent for the first half of this year followed by an 11.21 percent return for the second
half of this year.
Nultione remembers similar conditions several years ago when his forecast was too pessimistic
and he missed a significant buying opportunity. He does not want to miss another market low.
Nultione proposes a large increase in EA’s portfolio allocation to U.S. equities, which will move
his position from underweight to overweight. By contrast, Hyatt believes the recent downward
trend in the market will continue, and any gains from restructuring EA’s portfolio allocation
would not be worth the risk of relative underperformance.
After preparing his forecast, Nultione reads reports by several respected analysts, including
Harinder Singh. Nultione disagrees with Singh’s forecast of a continued decline in the market.
Hyatt, however, attended a conference where Singh presented his market forecast. Hyatt found
Singh’s analysis convincing and agreed with his forecast. Nultione points out that since the
conference, several key variables in Singh’s analysis have changed. Despite this evidence, Hyatt
remains convinced that Singh’s forecast is correct.
Hyatt believes that Nultione’s proposed portfolio allocation could result in a significant
underperformance of EA’s portfolio compared to its peers. Hyatt believes such
underperformance could harm his own position at the firm. As a result, Hyatt asks Nultione to
review the work of the top 20 equity analysts and reassess his forecast. Nultione presents his
review of the 20 analysts to Hyatt, focusing on the views of three analysts who agree with
Nultione’s optimistic market view.
For each Nultione and Hyatt:
i. Identify two psychological traps they have fallen into.
ii. Justify your position by stating evidence from the information provided.
Note: Four different psychological traps must be identified.

It is critical that research analysts adhere to strict standards of conduct that
overn how the research is to be conducted and what disclosures must be made
the report. Analysts must engage in thorough, independent, and unbiased
nalysis and must fully disclose potential conflicts, including the nature of their
ompensation. Otherwise, analysts risk misleading investors by becoming an
xtension of an issuer’s public relations department while appearing to produce
ndependent” analysis.
Investors need clear, credible, and thorough information about companies
nd research based on independent thought. At a minimum, research should
clude a thorough analysis of the company’s financial statements based on
ublicly disclosed information, benchmarking within a peer group, and industry
nalysis. Analysts must exercise diligence, independence, and thoroughness in
onducting their research in an objective manner. Analysts must distinguish
etween fact and opinion in their reports. Conclusions must have a reasonable
nd adequate basis, and must be supported by appropriate research.
Analysts must also strictly limit the type of compensation that they accept for
onducting research. Otherwise, the content and conclusions of the reports could
asonably be expected to be determined or affected by compensation from the
onsoring companies. This compensation can be as direct, such as payment based

CFA Institude Soft dollar Standards reading 3～reading 4

INTRODUCTION
CFA Institute Soft Dollar Standards provide guidance to investment profession-
als worldwide through the articulation of high ethical standards for CFA
Institute Members dealing with “soft dollar” issues. CFA Institute Soft Dollar
Standards are consistent with and complement the existing CFA Institute
Standards of Professional Conduct that all CFA Institute Members and Candidates
in the CFA Program are required to follow.
The purposes of the Standards are to define “soft dollars,” identify what is
“allowable” research, establish standards for soft dollar use, create model disclo-
sure guidelines, and provide guidance for client-directed brokerage arrangements.
The Soft Dollar Standards are voluntary standards for Members. If a CFA
Institute Member claims compliance with the Standards, then certain of these
Standards are mandatory (i.e., they must be followed to claim compliance) and

others are recommended (i.e., they should be followed). CFA Institute strongly
encourages Members to adopt the required and recommended Standards. If the
Soft Dollar Standards are adopted, compliance will not supplant the responsibility
to comply with applicable law.
1 CFA Institute Members should comply at all times
with the relevant laws of the countries in which they do business. In situations in
which these Standards impose a higher degree of responsibility or disclosure than,
but do not conflict with, local law, the Member is held to the mandatory provi-
sions of these Standards.
BACKGROUND
In 1975, the U.S. Congress created a “safe harbor” under Section 28(e) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to protect investment managers from claims
that they had breached their fiduciary duties by using their client commissions to
pay a higher commission to acquire investment research than they might have
paid for “execution” services. According to Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Staff, the protection of Section 28(e) is available only for securities trans-
actions conducted on an agency basis.
2 Since that time, the soft dollar area has
undergone considerable expansion, both in terms of actual usage and the types
of products and services for which safe harbor protection is claimed. The com-
plexity of these practices, including technologically sophisticated research tools
and the existence of “mixed-use” products, has resulted in a fair amount of legit-

CFA Institute seeks to provide ethical standards for CFA Institute Members
and those in the industry that engage in soft dollar practices and also emphasizes
the paramount duty of the investment manager, as a fiduciary, to place the inter-
ests of clients before those of the investment manager. In particular, the Soft Dol-
lar Standards focus on six key areas:
Definitions—to enable all parties dealing with soft dollar practices to have a
common understanding of all of the different aspects of soft dollars.
Research—to give clear guidance to investment managers on what prod-
ucts and services are appropriate for a manager to purchase with client
brokerage.
