danlan | III is not needed |
mtcfa | III relates more to Standard VIA: Disclosure of Conflicts. |
clama | I agree. Nowhere does it say under Standard I(B) that personal holdings must be disclosed .... |
achu | You don't GENERALLY need to disclose personal holdings - but if you covered a stock which you own , in that specific case then you would make a disclosure. |
DashingDude | I agree with achu |
