Armina Stump is a junior portfolio manager on the verge of a promotion at Black Stallion, a strongly bullish fund management firm. Armina reports to BrousterBragg, who has been with the firm for about 8 years. Brouster has been busy over the past 6 months and has not been able to keep up with account reviews but has complete faith in his subordinate managers. Now that it's time for Armina's promotion, he has been going over her transactions in the past 6 months and has discovered that all her trades are going through Blackwell Brokers. Blackwell is a well-reputed brokerage firm and is known to give extremely competitive prices and speed on trade executions. Due to the bulk transactions that originate with Armina, Blackwell has been providing research reports and investment tips toArmina which she has found extremely useful. Brouster does not find anything wrong with this, though he has now instructed Armina to file her monthly reports in more detail and in a timely fashion. She explained that due to company work and visits to their Los Angeles office, she had not been able to complete the reports for two months but she would take additional care in the future in this regard. Black Stallion has no official policy about filing of account reports. Given this entire sequence of events, your analysis as a student of AIMR ethics code should reveal which of the following?I. Armina has violated Standard I - Fundamental Responsibilities by not filing the reports on time.II. Brouster has violated Standard III (E) - Responsibilities of Supervisors by failing to enforce proper supervision.III. Armina has violated Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties by routing her orders solely through Blackwell.
A. I and II only
B. II and III only
C. II only
D. I, II and III
