LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This 1-hour module is created by Tom Hardin, and tailored for investment management professionals in Singapore.

Newly incorporated elements for 2024 focus on the importance of individual accountability, emphasizing the need for professionals to own their decisions and learn from them, especially in challenging or ambiguous situations. It also highlights the critical role of leadership in shaping organizational culture and influencing ethical conduct. The course aligns with the guidelines of regulatory authorities like the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), making it highly relevant for professionals in the financial sector. 

At the end of the module, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand how well-intentioned people can make serious ethical errors—and even commit crimes—if they are not careful.

  • Acquire a perspective useful to professionals as a framework for ethical conduct in the investment profession.

  • Explain the decision-making biases, heuristics and organizational pressures which can contribute to unethical and illegal behaviour.

  • Understand how to counteract the decision-making biases and heuristics and the organizational pressures one may face.

  • Identify organizational solutions for preventing unethical behaviour and warning signs of such behaviour.
