A person must be registered to take the next scheduled CFA exam to be a "candidate" in the CFA program. There is no designation for someone who has passed Level I, II, or III of the CFA exam. Candidates may state, however, that they have completed Level I, II, or III.
The standard applies to all related explanations or descriptions of the CFA designation, including letterheads and business cards, resumes, directory listings, printed advertising, brochures and oral statements to clients and prospects.

  3. none of these answers.
  4. have yet to be used as an investment in pension funds in the U.S.
  5. are proper investment vehicles for pensions, since they are a "public good."

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In a pension plan, the first and foremost duty of the fiduciary is to the plan participants and their beneficiaries rather than to the plan sponsor that has the power to hire and fire the investment manager. Consequently, if urged to make investments that might be of direct benefit to a sponsoring community or to the community at large, the manager must ensure that such investments are legal and do not impair the integrity of the funds in question or the financial security of the participants/beneficiaries.
