Cоrrаles mаnаges a hedge fund that seeks оut investment оpportunities in developing markets. Using assets of the fund’s investors, the fund hires local companies to serve as “sub-advisers” to explore and obtain promising investment opportunities and navigate local laws and regulation. The sub-advisers often have very limited experience as financial consultants or advisers but do have close relationships and connections with local high-ranking government officials. The payments made by Corrales, through the sub-advisers, often cover substantial “deal fees” and other expenses that facilitate governmental support of each investment. Corrales does not require the local business partners to provide details of their activities or what specific expenses are covered by the fees. Corrales reports these expenditures to fund investors as operating expenses necessary to the success of the investment. Over several years, the hedge fund is very successful producing an 18% annual rate of return for its investors. Did Corrales actions violate the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct?

Nickоli is аn investment cоunselоr with HHI Cаpitаl Management. A colleague at her local CFA Society encourages Nickoli to leave HHI and join her at Vesuvius Asset Advisers. Nickoli eventually agrees and determines to leave at the beginning of the new year. Over the course of a few weeks prior to tendering her resignation, she mentions to her clients that they will likely be working with a new investment counselor in the new year because she will be leaving HHI in the coming weeks. Her clients express their surprise, and when pressed for details about why she’s leaving, Nickoli shares that she is frustrated by and disagrees with the structure and direction of the firm, she disagrees with and does not have confidence in the current leadership, she does not believe the firm will be able to attract and retain good people, and other HHI employees have been mistreated and will also be leaving soon. Several of Nickoli’s HHI clients indicate that they would like information about Vesuvius and may be interested in switching their accounts. After submitting her resignation, Nickoli immediately relays the names of those clients to Vesuvius, and after the first of the year, she begins soliciting them to transfer their accounts from HHI to her new firm. Nickoli’s conduct is
Mаrcоs, а bаggage handler fоr a regiоnal airline, learns about investing by reading books during breaks at work and participating in online seminars produced by the mutual fund family that sponsors the airline’s retirement account. He also obtains a few investment-related certificates, including the Investment Foundations® certificate from CFA Institute. He begins to manage the retirement accounts of a few friends and other airline employees who hear of his investing hobby by word-of-mouth. For a nominal flat fee of $300, Marcos “takes over” the employees’ airline retirement accounts, selects their investments, and makes their trades. With his colleagues’ permission, Marcos trades directly in their accounts by logging into their accounts, having the broker/dealer’s “activation code” for a trade sent to the employee, and then getting the employee to text him the code so he can complete the trade. Some of his fellow employees add Marcos’s email address to their account profiles so that the activation codes are sent directly to his email. Marcos uses a market timing strategy for the mutual funds he selects. He invests his fellow employees’ assets in a single mutual fund available through the airline retirement platform and sells everything when he believes that the price is right. He then invests the assets in a bond fund while waiting to choose the next investment. When Marcos is added to a Facebook group for airline employees to post interesting “selfie” photos, he posts a picture of the retirement statement of one of his friends that shows close to $1 million in assets. None of the account holder’s identifying information is shown. This drives more airline employees to seek out Marcos to manage their retirement investments. Marcos starts his own Facebook group, which grows to 9,000 members, in which he promotes his investment prowess, answers questions about retirement investing, and posts information about the airline retirement plan. Eventually Marcos manages more than $110 million in assets for 934 fellow employees collecting more than $280,000 in fees. Marcos’s actions are
