As the national representative body of investment managers, we work closely with our members to develop industry standards and guidelines, and promote best practices, to foster high standards of professionalism.
Together with our Committees and Working Groups, we publish a range of industry guidance in areas such as business conduct and advertising of collective investment schemes to facilitate practical implementation and encourage adoption of good practices by our members.
For example, the IMAS Code of Ethics & Standards of Professional Conduct sets out the principles and standards of behavior required by us as a condition of membership. It provides guidance in areas where members need to make professional and ethical decisions. We also published the Code of Best Practices in Advertising Collective Investment Schemes and Investment-Linked Life Insurance Policies, and the Guidance Notes on Recommended Disclosures to Support the Presentation of Income Statistics in Advertisements which the MAS Code on Collective Investment Schemes makes reference to.
