Standard I(B), Independence and Objectivity, requires that “members shall use reasonable care and judgment to achieve and maintain independence and objectivity in making investment recommendations or taking investment action.” This Standard specifically addresses special cost arrangements, and precludes members from accepting payment for commercial transportation and hotel charges. Since the meeting is in Philadelphia, regular commercial air service is available, and Waller cannot accept payment for this expense. He is also prohibited from accepting payment for ordinary hotel charges. Hence, he may only attend the meeting with Joshua if his firm pays his expenses. Accepting the lunch provided by Stepp, because its value is token, would not be a violation of the Standard
