        Great idea to do “question of the week”, and Ethics is a great subject for this as it applies to all levels.

            The correct answer is actually C.

            Solution:

            Section VI.C of the Standards: Referral Fees. Members and Candidates must disclose to their employer, clients, and prospective clients, as appropriate, any compensation, consideration, or benefit received from or paid to others for the recommendation of products or services.

            Lisa is allowed to do (I), (II), and (III) according to the Standards. She has to make the necessary disclosures if she wishes to add fund XYZ to the client’s portfolio. Lisa is NOT allowed to add the fund without disclosing the commission.

            Answer C is correct only if Lisa is diligent and concludes that adding Mutual fund XYZ would be beneficial for her client’s portfolio
