Greater Focus on Ethics is Critical to Earning Trust in Financial Services Industry


Directions to navigate through the new financial landscape discussed at the third India Investment Conference

The third India Investment Conference, jointly organized by CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, Indian Association of Investment Professionals (IAIP) and the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), concluded with a call for action to restore trust and promote best practices in the financial services industry in India.

“Our members in India are optimistic when it comes to the local economy in 2013. At the same time, they point to the low level of public confidence in finance and to the need for financial firms to improve their ethical codes, as high priority items this year. We must take proactive measures to regain the public’s confidence and restore trust,” John Rogers, CFA, president and CEO, CFA Institute, told around 300 delegates at the conference held on 11 January in Mumbai.
