单选题 Sarah, CFA, is promoting her new investment management firm by issuing an advertisement. Which of these items is least likely a violation of the professional designation Standard? The advertisement states that:

A、 she passed three exams covering ethics, financial statement analysis, asset valuation, and portfolio management and that she is a member of the local society. Sarah signs the advertisement followed by the letters CFA in oversized and bold strike letters.
B、 she passed three 6-hour exams on her first attempts over the minimum period of one and a half years. Knowledge tested include ethics, financial statement analysis, asset valuation, and portfolio management. In addition, she is a member of the local society.
C、 because of her extensive CFA training she will be able to achieve better investments results than non-CFA managers since she is one of very few professionals to have been awarded this designation.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 本题主要涉及执业操守标准Ⅶ(B)的相关规定。
根据执业操守标准Ⅶ(B)，CFA头衔不得加以突出显示(如大号字体或加粗字体)。因此，选项A的广告内容违反了执业操守标准的相关规定。
由于选项B的广告内容均为客观事实，莎拉有权对外发布上述信息，因而选项B的广告内容没有违反执业操守标准的相关规定。
执业操守标准Ⅶ(B)规定，在进行与CFA协会、CFA资格和CFA认证体系有关的陈述时，会员不得对个人能力做出不恰当表述，也不得对未来的投资结果(如过高的投资收益或过低的投资风险)做出不恰当的保证。在选项C的广告内容中，莎拉将CFA资格及相关培训与较高的投资回报联系起来，因而违反了执业操守标准Ⅶ(B)规定。
