　　解析：
　　Standard III(A)Loyalty,Prudence,and Care.軟美元有兩個重點要記。
　　第一個是什么是軟美元，就是客戶（A）雇傭基金經(jīng)理（B），基金經(jīng)理與交易方（C）交易，這時候C返還給B的金錢是軟美元。所以要辨析，來自A給到B，但是沒花完的，不是軟美元。
　　第二個是軟美元能用來做什么，CFA規(guī)定中切記，軟美元只能用來購買和客戶目標相符合的研究報告和期刊。
　　這道題顯然違反了第二個點，購買自己感興趣的研究報告和期刊是不行的，而購買和客戶利益相關(guān)的研究報告和期刊是可以的，答案選A
　　翻譯：
　　TC（CFA）是多倫多T小額創(chuàng)業(yè)基金的經(jīng)理。他和RCB做基金交易。RCB為TC提供軟美元來購買研究。RCB還交易市政債券，其中一些是TC在其個人投資組合中持有的。他定期用軟美元購買研究各種小盤股的研究報告，以及他所持有的市政債券市場狀況和問題。這些行動是：
　　A）購買市政債券報告違反了他的職責，而小額創(chuàng)業(yè)基金報告則沒有。
　　B）沒有違反道德準則。
　　C）他同時違反了職責，在購買市政債券報告和小額創(chuàng)業(yè)基金報告上。
