Ethics violation?

[sk8247365]

“It’s important for a charterholder to maintain a certain level of education so that they can be a better investor.”
Violation or no?

Well given that statement is on the CFA website I would say no

I know… When I read it I could not help but to be reminded of the type of ethics questions that show up on the exam. You learn over and over a concept (can’t say cfa makes you a better investor) and then they blur the lines.
To me this statement clearly indicates CFAs are better investors and must “maintain” to remain better investors.

You can’t say that the CFA charter makes you a better investor than someone without the CFA charter.
You can say that education and knowledge will make you a more informed, thus better investor.

Would add experience to the last para
