Ethical and Professional Standards
  在前兩年的考試中Ethics部分36題,占15%,主要有3大部分:code of ethics、professional standards 、GIPS,估計今年考試可能主要集中在professional standards,還有一些就在GIPS。
  professional standards在2003年12月考了下面一些內(nèi)容:
  1、laws and regulations
  2、use of CFA charter/candidate titles
  3、use of insider information(material,apporiate actions,etc.)
  4、duties to employers (if you are leaving your employer ,what can/cannot be done)
  5、duties to clients (IPO shares allocation,etc.)
  6、duties of a supervisor (how to deal with incompliance,etc.)
  GIPS部分的問題問的很直接,一般比較容易。
  code of ethics:remenber the exact wording of code of ethics,understand what they mean.
  professional standards (challenging but manageabel):do as many questions as possible (from different publishers if available).focus on sorting out the priorities.in general,you should do alright if you follow the following order of priority:
  1、the investing public
  2、the profession
  3、your clients
  4、your employer
  5、youself
  ethics is manageable if you have a clear sense of priority in mind.read GIPS
