Michael Mak, CFA, a portfolio manager, conducts comprehensive research and purchases Advance One Tech (AOT) stock for all suitable client portfolios. Subsequently, he buys AOT shares for his brother's fee-paying account, in which he holds beneficial ownership. After a month, AOT's stock price declines significantly, causing substantial losses for all clients. Are Mak's actions consistent with the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?
