Kevin Richards is a performance analyst for Reliable Advisors, a retail investment advisory and consulting firm. Richards, who is a Level I CFA candidate, was hired-as part of the firm's efforts to attract CFA candidates into critical areas of the firm, such as performance measurement and attribution. Richards' supervisor instructs him to reference the firm's compliance with GIPS in marketing materials to attract more clients. For Richards' reference to the firm's GIPS compliance to be accurate, Reliable is least likely required to:

A.Apply GIPS compliance firm wide and not only to the specific asset classes mentioned in the marketing materials.

B.Claim compliance with GIPS only if it has a compliant performance history of five years or more.

C.Include all discretionary fee-paying accounts in composites based on their investment objectives and/or strategies.
