hz2125 any independe practice, not actual compensation
nanash i feel there is a mistake here as i think a member cannot involve in activities that would compete with their employer even with wriiten consent
volkovv I think the intuition here is if employeer doesn't want the member to compete with it, it will not give a consent, if he is consenting than he sees no problem with competition and it will be allowable.
pdubyac Employer has to approve any arrangement that MIGHT result in competition--but note that the CFA charterholder must only disclose arrangements that may result in direct/indirect compensation, but doesn't necessarily need approval for this if it would not ever be viewed as competing with the employer (e.g., getting use of facilities at a country club for managing its trust.)
cfamachine Can in engage in competing employment with written approval if the competing arrangement does not take away from employees duties to employer.
