Preeta Singh, a CFA Candidate, is an asset manager employed by a fund management company managing very large segregated pension funds. In her spare time outside of working hours, Singh likes to provide management-consulting services to small companies to help grow their businesses, focusing on strategic planning. Singh is paid for the consulting services and has also provided her employer information about these outside activities. Does Singh most likely violate the CFA Code of Ethics with regard to Duties to Employers?
A is correct because Singh does not violate any Standard relating to Duties to Employers. She conducts unrelated non-competitive services to clients outside of business hours and thus does not deprive her employer of the advantage of her skills and abilities, nor is there any indication she divulges confidential information or otherwise causes harm to her employer. She has informed her employers about her outside activities.
