Ethics and Professionalism

Make the right decisions

Transparency, integrity and trust are acknowledged to be the core pillars of ethical and professional conduct within the investment industry. We believe that the investment industry should work for the ultimate benefit of society, and this can’t be achieved without maintaining the highest possible standards and ethics.

Our practitioner developed resources will help you make practical judgments and navigate ambiguous ethical situations in your everyday roles to ensure that the Code of Ethics and Professional Standards remain at the heart of your decision-making.
