Professor Robert Jenkins

This must-attend seminar offers a practical approach to positively managing the conflicts of
interest that every investment professional might face during their career. During the interactive
session, you will hear advice from industry experts, have the opportunity to share concerns and ask
questions, then take away actionable solutions to serve you, your organisation and the wider industry.
An open and honest discussion of the potential price of making ethical choices and what to do when we
find ourselves in a situation with potential for conflict of interest is relevant for all investment
professionals. Staying ethical demands a clear and deliberate decision on our part, but it also requires
help and support from others. This seminar will give practical examples of how some of our peers
have dealt with conflicts of interest.
At a time when the public views our industry with distrust, there is much talk about ethics. We need to
move from teaching an ethics code to talking about how to put it to practice.
In Singapore in May 2013, John Rogers, CEO of CFA Institute said “If we cannot control ourselves as an
industry, then angry voters and their elected leaders will certainly re-regulate finance to the status of a
utility.” Take a positive step to driving change in our industry and register now for this unique
event.
