This lesson introduces the core ethical principles and professional conduct expected of participants in financial markets.
Participants will learn how ethical behaviour supports market integrity, investor confidence, and long-term sustainability of the financial system.
Key focus areas include:
• Integrity and honesty in professional dealings
• Fair treatment of clients and counterparties
• Accountability and responsibility in decision-making
• Avoidance of conflicts of interest
• Upholding trust and confidence in financial markets
Ethical conduct goes beyond compliance with written laws. It reflects professional judgement, values, and behaviour expected of market practitioners, even in situations where regulations may be unclear or silent.
