Khuyen is a Dealing Representative for Stark Contrast Investments. Her dealer has relationships with 20 different mutual fund families. This gave her the flexibility to sell two different types of funds from two different fund families to her client, Bao. $5,000 was invested in the Blue Moon Global Balanced fund and an additional $5,000 was invested in the Orange Sun Asset Allocation fund. Khuyen has been reviewing the performance of both funds and has determined that Bao would be better off being fully invested in the Blue Moon Global Balance fund. Bao had previously signed a Limited Authorization Form (LAF) for Khuyen, so she goes ahead and does not worry about consulting with Bao before making the change. What type of activity has Khuyen performed?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation Discretionary trading is a type of trading activity where the advisor makes investment decisions on behalf of the client without obtaining the client's prior consent for each transaction. Discretionary trading is only allowed if the client has signed a discretionary management agreement with the advisor and the advisor is registered as a portfolio manager. A limited authorization form (LAF) does not grant the advisor the authority to engage in discretionary trading. A LAF only allows the advisor to execute trades that are initiated by the client, such as pre-authorized contributions or withdrawals. Therefore, Khuyen has performed discretionary trading by switching Bao's funds without consulting him, which is a violation of her registrant responsibilities and ethical standards.
