Application: Records of The Firm
Scott Garcia is the head of quantitative research at Green Point Investments. Over the six years at Green Point, he has contributed and developed the firm’s quantitatively driven investment strategies. Garcia has diligently documented the assumptions and reasoning behind his work product. Garcia has resigned and has plans to start a consultancy firm. With the permission of his employer, he copies the records of the supporting documentation of strategies he has previously worked on.
Has Garcia violated Standard V(C) – Record Retention?
- Yes, because he is not permitted to make copies of any material developed at his previous employer.
- No, because he received permission to make copies of the supporting documentation.
- No, because he maintains all documents related to the work on the firm’s investment strategies.
Solution
The correct answer is B.
All the records developed by Garcia are the property of the firm. Garcia has not violated Standard V(C) – Record Retention because he received permission from his employer to make copies of the supporting documentation. If Garcia had not received permission, he would recreate the supporting documentation and strategies through publicly available information.

Excelente para el FRM 2
Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé
AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts.
The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.
I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them.
Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.
