Cfa Ethics & PS

Nota:

• Why ethics matters
• Increases investor confidence in global FM. Instill public trust in markets.ensure a sense of trust and integrity in the financial markets.        

Nota:

•        In addition to committing to the highest levels of ethical behavior, today’s investment professional, when making decisions, should consider the long-term health of the market as a whole. In addition, corporate compensation strategies should not encourage otherwise ethically  sound individuals to engage in unethical or questionable conduct for financial gain.    Eg   : sub prime crisis and failures.                       

Nota:

• Regulation alone will never fully anticipate and eliminate the causes of  financial crises.        The Code and Standards, as well as other voluntary ethical standards of the CFA Institute (e.g., the Global Investment Performance Standards, Soft Dollar Standards, Trade Management Guidelines, Research Objectivity Standards, and the Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct), offer a  foundation to adopt and build on in promoting an ethical corporate culture.
