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. However, the MS law states that the applicable business laws are the local laws where the business is conducted. In that case, the trader must adhere to:

  1. LS business laws.
  2. AIMR code.
  3. MS business laws.
  4. a combination of MS and LS business law.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

An AIMR member must always adhere to the code of ethics, unless the laws governing his/her behavior are stricter, in which case, the stricter laws must be followed. In this case, since the LS law applies to the trader's business behavior, the trader must follow the stricter AIMR code of conduct.
