When Peter Jiang, CFA, joined Brown Investing, Brown began using a quantitative stock selection model that Peter had developed on his own personal time prior to his employment with Brown. One year later when Peter left the firm, he found the original copy of the model that he had developed in a file at his home and presented it to his new employer, who immediately began using the model. According to the Standards of Practice Handbook, did Peter violate any CFA Institute Standards of professional Conduct（）
A. No.
B. Yes, because he failed to act in Brown’s best interest.
C. Yes, because he misappropriated property that now belonged to Brown.
参考答案：A
解析：
Although departing employees may not take employer property when departing, the model Peter presented to his new employer was not Brown’s property. It was created by Peter prior to his employment with Brown. The model was not created for Brown in the course of his employment, but was adopted by Brown.
