A. B. C. D.

Explanation

Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties - states: Because the fiduciary is in a position of trust, the duty required in fiduciary relationships exceeds what may be acceptable in other industries. Fiduciaries owe undivided loyalty to their clients and must place client interests before their own. The investment manager's fiduciary responsibility to a client includes a duty of loyalty and a duty to exercise a reasonable standard of care. Investment actions should be carried out for the sole benefit of the client and in a manner the manager believes to be in the interest of the client, given the known facts and circumstances.
