        Krystal French, CFA, issues monthly investment reports. These reports aggregate a wide number of analysis reports. Krystal looks for trends and commonalities within the research community. Krystal then presents the findings as her own research and doesn’t cite any sources. Krystal is most likely in violation of which Standard?

        • Misrepresentation
        • Performance Presentation
        • Diligence and Reasonable Basis

          The Standard which applies is:

          Misrepresentation:
          Members and Candidates must not knowingly make any misrepresentations relating
          to investment analysis, recommendations, actions, or other professional
          activities.

          By not citing her sources, Krystal has misrepresented the
          research findings she posted.

            (buries head in shame) and I’m a research analyst.
