Constance is an investment adviser representative. She told one of her clients that he should put at least 15% of his investment monies in a U.S. government bond mutual fund.
She explained that she believed that he required this percentage to meet his liquidity needs, and U.S. government bond funds are risk-free. A few months later, the client needed to sell some of his fund shares in order to pay some medical bills and was surprised to discover that he lost money on the sale because the net asset value of the fund had dropped.
Was Constance guilty of any securities violations?
