Maria is a portfolio manager at Alpha Investment Group, where she manages several institutional client accounts. Recently, she received an enticing offer from a hedge fund to serve as their chief investment officer. This position would significantly increase her compensation. However, she is concerned about the potential conflicts of interest this change could create for her current clients, particularly because her job would require her to prioritize the hedge fund's interests over those of Alpha's clients.

Under the CFA Institute Asset Manager Code, Maria must consider her responsibilities towards her current clients before making a decision about the new job offer.
