Professionalism<\/h3>\n<p>Standard I is broad in scope and directed toward competence within a small business environment. This standard makes it clear high ethical standards must apply even when an issue hasn\u2019t been identified in writing. In addition, it specifies that investment professionals must have a working knowledge of laws and a framework for resolving ethical dilemmas.<\/p>\n<h3>II. Integrity of Capital Markets<\/h3>\n<p>Standard II discusses sharing of material information qualified as non-public and the intent to manipulate markets. It prohibits CFA members from acting in a way to distort market value through manipulation.<\/p>\n<h3>III. Duties to Clients and Prospective Clients<\/h3>\n<p>Standard III addresses client loyalty, discretion, and care; fair dealing; suitability; performance presentation; and maintaining confidentiality. Investment professionals are obligated to put the interests of their clients before that of their organization or their personal interests.<\/p>\n<h3>IV. Duties to Employers<\/h3>\n<p>Standard IV outlines basic responsibilities by investment professionals for their employers. Language includes the premise of \u201cdo no harm\u201d toward an employer, bearing that there can occasionally be a conflict of loyalty between personal and agency interests.\u00a0 There are also specific instances outlined in which an investment professional may be considered in violation of duties to employers, including unfair competition and sharing of confidential information. Whistleblowing, or reporting unethical employers, is also addressed in this section.<\/p>\n<h3>V. Investment Analysis, Recommendations, and Action<\/h3>\n<p>Standard V outlines the responsibility of investment professionals regarding due diligence before making recommendations to clients.\u00a0 The intent is to prevent conjecture in the form of a \u201chot tip\u201d but rather provides that recommendations be made based on a firm\u2019s independent research or the quantitative research of other reputable sources.<\/p>\n<h3>VI. Conflicts of Interest<\/h3>\n<p>There are bound to be conflicts of interest and loyalty within any business organization, leading to an ethical dilemma.\u00a0 Standard VI specifies that CFA members and candidates must disclose any potential conflicts between clients and employers, individual interests, and the like.\u00a0 The purpose of this is to protect employers from an unknown clash of concerns that may promote unethical decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>VII. Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Candidate<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, Standard VII indicates that members and candidates must not risk the integrity of the CFA Institute or the CFA designation through unethical action.\u00a0 This standard also addresses cheating on CFA exams.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center; margin: 40px 0;\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/free-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:inline-flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center; padding:12px 20px; border-radius:999px; background-color:#1a73e8; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:600;\">\n    Start Free Trial \u2192\n  <\/a>\n  <p style=\"font-size:15px; margin-top:12px; color:#555;\">\n    Practice ethics scenarios and Standards of Professional Conduct questions for CFA Level I with AnalystPrep.\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Code of Ethics The CFA Institute has outlined six components to its Code of Ethics.
