27. A former hedge fund manager, Jackman, has decided to launch a new private wealth management firm. From his prior experiences, he believes the new firm needs to achieve US$1 million in assets under management in the first year. Jackman offers a $10,000 incentive to any adviser who joins his firm with the minimum of $200,000 in committed investments. Jackman places notice of the opening on several industry web portals and career search sites. Which of the following is correct according to the Code and Standards?
A. A member or candidate is eligible for the new position and incentive if he or she can arrange for enough current clients to switch to the new firm and if the member or candidate discloses the incentive fee.
B. A member or candidate may not accept employment with the new firm because Jackman’s incentive offer violates the Code and Standards.
C. A member or candidate is not eligible for the new position unless he or she is currently unemployed because soliciting the clients of the member’s or candidate’s current employer is prohibited.

答案是: C
而我选择的是B,因为我觉得member and candidate可能会冲着$10,000而去Jackman的公司,而不是完全基于clients的利益。
不知道大家怎么理解这道题。
谢谢
