Ethics
Why ethical culture is needed?
The stock market scam of 1992 is considered one of the worst violations of ethics in the Indian financial industry.
This has given us countless scandals and news stories about professionals who have defrauded investors, employers, and peers. There is no doubt that greed is a powerful emotion, but sometimes unethical behavior boils down to lack of education on basic principles of financial standards. The finance industry has been singled out as a case of rampant unethical behavior and corporate greed.
Investors intrinsically trust financial institutions with their money and expect them to invest it with integrity. All market risks considered, investors expect the highest return and put their faith in the hands of professionals. Upholding investor confidence is vital to the success of the investment industry. High ethical standards are critical to maintaining the public’s trust in financial markets and in the investment profession.
