[A19] - Chapter 19: Ethical Issues (NISM Series X-A)

Welcome to Chapter 19 of the DeepStratAI audio masterclass. Compliance keeps you out of trouble, but ethics keeps you in business.

In this episode, we discuss the crucial difference between merely following the law and acting ethically. As an Investment Adviser, you are a fiduciary, which means you must act with utmost good faith and always put the client's interests above your own. We will explore common ethical dilemmas you will face in the market and how to navigate them using the "Client First" principle.

🎧 What You Will Hear:
- The definition of ethics and why it is the absolute foundation of the financial advisory business.
- How to identify and resolve ethical dilemmas when personal and professional values clash.
- Understanding your fiduciary responsibility to avoid conflicts of interest and disclose all material facts.
- A breakdown of SEBI's official Do's and Don'ts for investors.
- A quick look at global best practices from the US SEC and Australian Guidelines.
