| stupie | just the employer - not the clients? |
| SueLiu | It specifically refers to this standard IV.B |
| Farina | Compliance with standards sets a (high) bare minimum requirement. Standard IV.B. requires employers to be informed and to give written consent to, additional compensation arrangements for a CFA Charterholder to be fully compliant. This does not mean it's a bad idea to let your clients know (providing doing so doesn't violate client confidentiality), but this is just good manners. |
| cong | The client already knows because he or she is offering the additional compensation! |
| nayagan | I think the question implies that the client is making the additional comp. However, if the member has multiple clients and one of those said clients is offering additional comp, I would think that the answer is both? |
| johntan1979 | No need to inform clients! If one client gets to know how much more you are getting paid or rewarded by another client, they might vomit blood or get the perception of preferential treatment. |
| gill15 | Usually you do need to inform clients of additional compensation -- Think III --Loyalty,prudence and care...or think issuer paid research...anything that affects objectivity due to compensation needs to be disclosed BUT for this Standard to the Employer --- Does NOT pertain |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
