Standards Potentially Contravened:

Standard III$($A$)$ Loyalty to Clients: This standard requires members to act in the sole best interests of their clients when making investment decisions. Managing personal and family investments while employed as a portfolio manager creates a potential conflict of interest.

Standard III$($B$)$ Fair Dealing: This standard requires members to deal fairly and honestly with all clients. Taking on external work without clear disclosure and potential conflicts addressed with the employer could be seen as a lack of fairness.
