CPBL1 – Ethical Conduct

Covered Persons operate in an environment where the ethical boundaries between clients, advisors, managers and peers are constantly evolving. 

Using the regulatory framework, the Private Banking Code of Conduct, as a foundation, the Covered Person must build their value systems and personal code of conduct.

Doing so will allow them to exercise integrity, professionalism, competence and care when managing client relationships.
