How it comes up, in Chapter 4
Article 72 asks three things. Halcyon must find every conflict of interest: any place where its own interest, or one client's, pulls against another client's. It must prevent or manage each one. And it must describe its conflicts in a prominent place on its website, and keep that notice current.
