The key test for the Part XX exemption is whether the investment activity is complementary to other professional services supplied by the firm. The activity must be done in connection with or as part of the main legal services provided. This ensures the activity is incidental to the main legal services. Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they misinterpret the scope of the Part XX exemption and the requirements for accounting to clients for commissions.
Key Point: This question assesses the application of the Part XX exemption under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001, focusing on the complementary nature of investment activities to main legal services.
