Adopting the Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct

 

Who should adopt the Asset Manager Code?

• Firms that manage client assets as separate accounts or pooled funds
• Firms that are not required to register with a regulator, such as hedge funds
• Firms that currently do not have a code of ethics

 

There are no formal procedures for adopting the Asset Manager Code, but if you claim compliance, you should fully understand the requirements. While we appreciate public acknowledgement, no attribution is necessary.  

 

If you are an institutional asset manager who already has a code of ethics, you may use the Asset Manager Code to evaluate your practices.

 

You may also reproduce the text of the Asset Manager Code and modify it to suit your firm’s needs. But if you make substantive changes, your firm cannot claim your version of the code is the same as ours.

 

We like to know who is adopting the Asset Manager Code. Please let us know:
