ggupta yes..anything which is expected to raise concern about the conflict on Interest..provide appropriate disclosures
JimM What about a mere 25% ownership in the company?
bundy Any ownerhip
oncewerepirates What about a mere 20% ownership in the company?
johntan1979 Even if you have 0.001 share ownership.

The CFA Standard VI(A) does not specify the percentage ownership, so it means ANY amount of ownership.
MapherRdz Yeah, any ownership must be disclosed not only if you have equal or more than the 30%
