Ethics & Standards

Professions can only exist within an industry when those acting with transparency, integrity, candor, and trust reach a critical mass. CFA Institute has long championed these values through its Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. CFA Institute believes that the investment industry should work for the ultimate benefit of society, and that cannot be achieved without the highest possible standards and ethics.
