CFAInstitute to Recognize ‘Putting Investors First’

　　CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals that sets the standard for professional excellence, will recognize May as Putting Investors First Month. The global initiative aims to build awareness and unite financial professionals in a commitment to place investor interests above all others. Putting Investors First Month will feature a series of events and outreach throughout the month of May, hosted by hundreds of CFA Institute members and many of the organization’s 143 member societies worldwide.

　　“Putting Investors First Month is an ideal time to call attention to the needs and rights of investors and spotlight those in the investment profession who are committed to serving the interests of investors,” said John Rogers, CFA, president and CEO of CFA Institute. “The financial industry is dealing with a crisis of public trust, and despite signs of recovery in markets around the world, many investors still do not believe that their interests are the primary concern of those responsible for managing and growing their savings and investments.”

　　The CFA Institute 2014 Global Market Sentiment Survey (PDF) of investment professionals worldwide indicated that the most needed action to boost investor trust and confidence is improved ethical culture that is established and encouraged by top management and executives. The survey also explores issues critical to investor trust, including fair treatment and the information investors need to properly evaluate products and services to make informed decisions.

　　“The global financial industry can be an extraordinary force for good, but there is still work to be done to shape the industry for future generations,” continued Rogers. “Through Putting Investors First Month, CFA Institute aims to inspire the industry to ensure that investors’ rights to information, fair and honest advice and accurate assessment of risk and reward is at the core of client service. A commitment to uphold the highest standards of investment practice and to serve investors and the global economy can affect positive change in finance, but change starts with all of us.”
