Exam CIFC Topic 1 Question 118 Discussion

Actual exam question for IFSE Institute's CIFC exam
Question #: 118
Topic #: 1

Which of the following CORRECTLY describes a material conflict of interest that has been properly addressed by the Dealing Representative?

A. Cametra asks to meet with her client, Pietro, to update his Know Your Client (KYC) information. They have not had a face-to-face meeting in years. Pietro feels updating the KYC information is unnecessary.
He tells Cametra he is too busy and there is no reason for her to be concerned with the information she already has. Even though they fail to meet, Cametra continues to submit purchase orders at his request. B. Gibson reviews two similar mutual funds for his client. One fund pays higher trailer fees than the other.
Gibson discloses the difference between the trailer fees before recommending the fund that has higher trailer fees. C. Keaira recommends a growth fund to her client, Shilo, but her Compliance Department questions the trade because Shilo's risk profile is too low. Rather than cancel the trade and absorb the market losses herself, Keaira recommends that Shilo keep the investment even though it is not in her best interest.
Keaira updates Shilo's KYC to "high" risk and gets Shilo to sign the KYC update form. D. Oscar wants to recommend a fund to his client which has a higher management expense ratio (MER) than other mutual funds. Since the MER could impact the client's decision, Oscar reports the conflict of interest to his dealer and discloses the conflict of interest to his client. Oscar explains how the higher MER is in the client's best interest because the overall cost for the client will still be less than a fee-for-service account holding mutual funds with a lower MER.

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

Explanation
A material conflict of interest is a situation where a Dealing Representative or their firm has an interest that could reasonably be expected to affect the exercise of their professional judgment or influence their actions or recommendations. A Dealing Representative must identify, disclose, and manage any material conflicts of interest in the best interest of their clients. Oscar has properly addressed the material conflict of interest arising from the higher MER by reporting it to his dealer, disclosing it to his client, and explaining how it is in the client's best interest. The other scenarios do not demonstrate proper management of material conflicts of interest.
