A. B. C. D. E.Explanation
Standard V (A), Prohibition against Use of Material Nonpublic Information, states that the test for determining if a tipper is breaching a fiduciary duty is whether the tipper benefits directly or indirectly from the disclosure. The three types of personal benefits are: 1. pecuniary benefit, 2. a quid pro quo between the insider and recipient, and 3. a gift of confidential information to a relative. An insider who selectively discloses material nonpublic information without a legitimate business purpose may be found to have breached a fiduciary duty.
