Patricia Hoolihan is an individual investment advisor who uses mutual funds for her clients. She typically chooses funds from a list of 40 funds that she has thoroughly researched. The Burns, a married couple that are a client, asked her to consider the Hawkeye fund for their portfolio. Hoolihan had not previously considered the fund because when she first conducted her research three years ago, Hawkeye was too small to be considered. However, the fund has now grown in value, and cursory research uncovers no fundamental flaws with the fund. She puts the fund in the Burns' portfolio but not in any of her other clients' portfolios. The fund ends up being the best performing fund on her list. Hoolihan has: A. violated the Standards by not having a reasonable and adequate basis for making the recommendation. B. violated the Standards by not dealing fairly with clients. C. not violated the Standards. |
