士必須具有合理的依據(jù)，并進行審慎的盡職調(diào)查。根據(jù)StandardIII(C)(DutyofCare)，專業(yè)人士必須以客戶的最佳利益行事，并提供合理的建議。在信息披露不完整的情況下添加一個有利于管理人個人的額外條件，這違反了進行合理盡職調(diào)查的原則，并且可能使建議不再完全基于客戶的最佳利益，從而違反了關(guān)照義務(wù)。選項(a)和(b)不是道德問題的重點。選項(d)的關(guān)鍵問題在于未披露的額外條件，而非遵循prospectus本身。7.c解析思路：根據(jù)StandardIII(E)(CommunicationwithClients)，專業(yè)人士應(yīng)使用清晰、簡潔和易于理解的語言與客戶溝通，特別是當涉及復(fù)雜或?qū)I(yè)性強的信息時。根據(jù)StandardIV(A)(Professionalism)，專業(yè)人士應(yīng)保持專業(yè)行為，包括有效的溝通。對于理解能力有限的客戶，使用大量技術(shù)術(shù)語和缺乏平實語言解釋，會阻礙客戶理解信息，這違反了與客戶有效溝通的原則，并可能構(gòu)成未能盡到關(guān)照義務(wù)。選項(a)不正確，私人溝通也需要清晰度，尤其是涉及潛在利益或風(fēng)險時。選項(b)不正確，即使客戶被認為是復(fù)雜的，也仍需確保其理解，不能想當然。選項(d)不正確，溝通方式的選擇需要考慮客戶的理解能力。8.c解析思路：根據(jù)StandardI(A)(IndependenceandObjectivity)，專業(yè)人士必須保持獨立性和客觀性，不受不當利益或關(guān)系的影響。根據(jù)StandardII(A)(FairDealing)，專業(yè)人士必須公平對待客戶和市場。利用從客戶那里獲得的非公開信息為自己牟利，是典型的利用信息優(yōu)勢進行不公平交易的行為，嚴重違反了獨立客觀原則和公平交易原則。選項(a)和(d)描述了行業(yè)實踐或潛在關(guān)系，但不是此處的主要違規(guī)行為。選項(b)
