NL is a country with no securities laws. LS is a country that has securities laws that are less strict than the AIMR code of ethics while MS has securities laws that are stricter than the code of ethics. A securities trader lives in MS but conducts his business in LS. His behavior is governed by MS laws.

LS business laws.
AIMR code.
MS business laws.
a combination of MS and LS business law.
