- [ ] 雇主投行关系
- [ ] 外部董事/顾问角色
- [ ] 薪酬与推荐挂钩
- [ ] 家庭关系
- [ ] 礼物和招待
四、VI(B) 重点回顾
优先级口诀:3C
Client → Company → Character
客户 雇主 自己
关键规则

| 非现金利益置换 | 客户 + 雇主 |
什么是介绍费?
- ✅ 现金佣金、礼物、旅游、折扣、服务置换、间接利益
- ❌ 正常工资奖金(非与推荐挂钩)、市场公开促销
六、交叉违规速查

| 抢在客户前交易 | VI(B) + III(A) | 优先级违规 + 忠诚义务受损 |
| 收介绍费推荐不适当产品 | VI(C) + III(C) + III(A) | 三重违规! |
| 藏在脚注里披露冲突 | VI(A) | 不醒目 = 违规 |
| 配偶账户优先交易 | VI(B) | 视同个人账户 |
| 集团内部推荐不披露奖金 | VI(C) + VI(A) | 介绍费 + 冲突未披露 |

1. Standard VI Three Sub-Standards at a Glance

| Trading ahead of clients | VI(B) + III(A) | Priority violation + loyalty breach |
| Receiving referral fees to recommend unsuitable products | VI(C) + III(C) + III(A) | Triple violation! |
| Disclosing conflicts buried in footnotes | VI(A) | Not prominent = violation |
| Spouse's account traded first | VI(B) | Treated as personal account |
| Intra-group referral without disclosing bonus | VI(C) + VI(A) | Referral fee + conflict not disclosed |
