1A promotor de fondos must choose between a fund that fits the client's stated objectives and a fund that pays the distributor a higher fee. Which fundamental principle of the Código de Ética Profesional de la Comunidad Bursátil Mexicana is directly at stake?
A.Compite en forma leal
B.Proporciona al mercado información veraz, clara, completa y oportuna
C.Haz prevalecer el interés de tu cliente
D.No uses ni divulgues información privilegiada
Explanation: Principle 3 of the Code, 'Haz prevalecer el interés de tu cliente', requires professionals to act transparently and in good faith without putting other interests ahead of the client's. It specifically bars inducing clients into transactions whose only purpose is a benefit for the professional or the firm.
2A distributor pays its promotores a larger commission on Fund Alpha than on Fund Beta. For a particular client, Fund Beta clearly matches the documented objectives and horizon, while Fund Alpha does not. What should the promotor do?
A.Recommend Fund Alpha, provided the commission difference is disclosed to the client in writing
B.Recommend Fund Beta, the fund that matches the client's objectives
C.Present both funds as equivalent options and let the client decide without further comment
D.Split the investment between both funds so the client and the distributor both benefit
Explanation: Under principle 3 of the Code, professionals must identify clients' investment objectives so that what they recommend is the most appropriate, and must not induce clients into business whose only purpose is their own or the firm's benefit. Compensation differences cannot override the fit with the client's documented profile.
3Under the principle 'Salvaguarda la confidencialidad de la información de los clientes', to whom may a promotor provide information about a client's fund holdings?
A.To a competing distributor that the client said he might move his account to
B.To the client's relative who calls to ask for the balance but holds no power of attorney
C.To a credit rating agency preparing a study of high-net-worth investors
D.To a competent authority that makes an express, founded and motivated request
Explanation: Principle 6 of the Code requires keeping client and account information confidential and providing it only when there is an express, founded and motivated requirement from the competent authorities or self-regulatory entities. It also bars using knowledge of client orders for the benefit of the professional, the firm or third parties.
4Which situation involves trading on información privilegiada as defined in the Ley del Mercado de Valores?
A.Buying an issuer's shares after its evento relevante about a merger has been disseminated through the exchange
B.Buying the shares after a corporate client mentions a merger not yet disclosed through the exchange
C.Rebalancing a fund after Banco de México publishes its monetary policy decision
D.Selling shares after a broker's research report downgrading the issuer is sent to all of its clients
Explanation: Article 362 of the Ley del Mercado de Valores defines información privilegiada as knowledge of eventos relevantes that the issuer has not yet disclosed to the public through the exchange where its securities trade. Article 364 then prohibits anyone holding it from trading, tipping others or making recommendations on the affected securities.
5Which conduct matches the prohibition in Article 370, fraction VI of the Ley del Mercado de Valores, commonly called front running?
A.Buying the security for oneself while knowing a pending client order on it will soon be executed
B.Executing a client's limit order at the limit price or better, as soon as the market reaches it
C.Selling liquid CETES held by a fund to meet an unusually large wave of redemption requests
D.Updating a target price after an issuer publishes its audited annual financial statements
Explanation: Article 370, fraction VI prohibits ordering or taking part in securities transactions for one's own or a third party's benefit while knowing of one or more pending client instructions on the same security, getting ahead of their execution. Principle 6 of the Code likewise bars using knowledge of client orders for personal or third-party benefit.
6A promotor wants to show a prospective client a debt fund's historical returns. Which presentation complies with the CNBV investment-services rules and the Code of Ethics?
A.Showing only the fund's best twelve-month period so the client sees what the fund can achieve
B.Showing gross returns before fees, since fees differ from one share series to another
C.Showing returns net of costs and warning that past returns do not guarantee future ones
D.Stating that the fund cannot lose value because most of its portfolio is in government securities
Explanation: Annex 7 of the CNBV investment-services provisions requires that any reference to historical performance state whether costs were considered, be calculated after intermediation and other costs, and warn clearly that past returns do not guarantee future performance. This is consistent with the Code's duty to give clients the information they need to decide.
7According to the objective set out in the Código de Ética Profesional de la Comunidad Bursátil Mexicana, what role does self-regulation (autorregulación) play in the market?
A.It replaces the CNBV's regulation for every activity covered by the Code, so the CNBV no longer intervenes
B.It complements authority regulation by setting, supervising and sanctioning participants' conduct
C.It applies only to issuers listed on the exchange, leaving intermediaries to the CNBV
D.It is voluntary guidance, with no supervision system and no disciplinary consequences
Explanation: The Code states that raising the quality and competitiveness of the market requires complementing the current regulatory framework with a comprehensive self-regulatory scheme that sets rules for, supervises and sanctions the conduct of participants. Self-regulatory entities issue standards and apply their own supervision and disciplinary bodies.
8A client visits a promotor's office with cash and asks the promotor to deposit it personally into the client's fund account later that day. What is the appropriate response?
A.Take the cash and deposit it through the promotor's own bank account, then transfer it
B.Accept the cash if the client signs a handwritten receipt for the amount delivered
C.Keep the cash in the office safe and deposit it at the end of the week
D.Decline and direct the client to the institution's official deposit channels
Explanation: Client funds must enter the institution through its official channels, where they are identified, recorded and subject to anti-money-laundering controls. A promotor who personally takes custody of client cash acts outside those controls and risks commingling funds, which conflicts with principle 1 of the Code (act according to the applicable rules and sound market practices).
9Several clients with identical instructions want to participate in a limited allotment. Which approach reflects the Code's requirement on executing and allocating client transactions?
A.Allocate by an objective, pre-set rule, such as pro rata, applied equally to all
B.Allocate first to the largest accounts because they generate the most revenue
C.Allocate first to clients who are relatives or friends of branch staff
D.Allocate first to accounts in the series with the highest commission
Explanation: Principle 3 of the Code requires executing client instructions under principles of equal treatment and opportunity, in the best market conditions, and executing and allocating transactions transparently and according to current rules. An objective, pre-established allocation rule applied to everyone satisfies that duty.
10A client asks a promotor to guarantee that a short-term debt fund will return at least 11.50% over the next year. How should the promotor respond?
A.Guarantee it, because the fund invests only in CETES and Bonos M issued by the government
B.Guarantee it verbally during the meeting, but never put it in writing
C.Explain that no return can be guaranteed, since the fund's price moves with the market
D.Guarantee it, provided the distributor signs a private indemnity letter for the client
Explanation: Principle 8 of the Code prohibits guaranteeing clients returns that do not derive from the nature of the instruments or operations. A debt fund's price is valued daily and moves with interest rates and credit events, and the prospectus must warn investors of these risks, so no fixed return can be promised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AMIB Serie 100 certification?

It is the AMIB certification for Promotor de Fondos de Inversión, the professional who promotes investment-fund shares to the public. Individuals who deal with the public on behalf of intermediaries need CNBV authorization, which requires certification before a self-regulatory organization recognized by the CNBV such as the AMIB.

How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

Under the Guía de Certificación v8.3, the exam has 185 questions and lasts 3 hours 38 minutes. Guide v8.4, which applies from 26 October 2026, keeps the same number of questions and time.

What score do I need to pass?

Results are reported on a 200 to 1,100 scale. You need at least 600 points overall and at least 600 points in each mandatory area, Ética and Fondos de Inversión. If you pass overall but fail a mandatory area, you can take a modular extraordinary exam covering the mandatory areas; if you fail overall, you take an integral extraordinary exam.

What do I need before registering for the exam?

You must pass AMIB's course 'Ética Bursátil y Sanas Prácticas del Mercado de Valores', have a satisfactory credit history of at least five years shown in a Reporte de Crédito Especial issued within the last three months, sign the honorability statement, and submit your file through AMIB's online system at least 10 business days before the exam.

Why is this practice bank in English?

The official exam is given in Spanish. This bank is an English-language study adaptation that helps you review the concepts in the AMIB outline; it is not an official translation or format simulation, and it keeps key Mexican legal and market terms in Spanish so you can recognize them on the real exam.

How long is the certification valid?

The certification cycle is three years. For Serie 100, AMIB's policies exclude the 450-point continuing-education scheme, so renewal is by retaking the exam or another scheme AMIB makes available.
