Asche points out there already exists a globally-recognized and respected set of principles, encompassed in the CFA Standards of Professional Conduct, which is precisely why the CAIA Association has required all its members to learn and abide by these guiding principles since launching the CAIA Program in 2003.TOPIC: Financial crises and financial market history
