Sign up for the event here! Register here! Discover the future of investing: digitization and sustainability During our anniversary event, we will focus on two key themes: the rise of digitization and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the role of the investment industry in sustainability. We have three inspiring keynote speakers: Jos Heuvelman from AFM, Jorissa Neutelings from ABN AMRO, and Erik van Houwelingen from Van Lanschot Kempen. Together with them and an interactive panel, we will delve into current developments with a strong emphasis on integrity and ethics. As AI and algorithms take over the role of investment advisors, questions arise: how do you ensure ethics? And how can you be certain that investment products are genuinely green and not just greenwashing? These pressing questions will be at the heart of our discussions. Meet our key-note speakers Jos Heuvelman joined the AFM Board on September 1, 2018. He is responsible for overseeing the retail market, including lending, saving, investing, insurance, and pensions, as well as asset management. Heuvelman is also active at ESMA. Previously, he spent over thirty years at De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), where he held various management positions and supervised large banks. His extensive experience in financial supervision now strengthens the AFM. Jorissa Neutelings is the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) at ABN AMRO Bank. She is responsible for Digital Customer Experience, Digital Innovation, Data & Analysis, and the Design & Build of all digital channels. The common thread in her career is the customer. Her mission is to build lasting customer relationships in a sustainable way to optimize value for both the customer and the organization. She views digitization as the key route to helping customers more simply, quickly, and personally. Erik van Houwelingen is on the Executive Board of Van Lanschot Kempen and is Chairman of the Executive Board of Kempen Capital Management. Additionally, he is Vice-Chairman of Dufas. He has extensive experience in asset management and pensions, with a strong focus on the transition to sustainable investing being a major priority for him. We will soon announce the names of the panel members. An intimate setting for valuable interaction With only 100 available spots, we provide a setting where interaction is key. Each attendee can make a valuable contribution to the discussions and work together on the challenges within our sector.

25th anniversary DSI Posted on January 11, 2024 at 2:17 pm.Written by Roeland Jongejan 25 years of integrity and expertise With the very best wishes for the new year, we proudly announce our anniversary year. In 2024, it will mark the 25th anniversary since the establishment of the DSI Foundation as a self-regulatory initiative within the financial sector to promote integrity and expertise. The past 25 years have often been turbulent times for the financial sector, where expertise and integrity (or sometimes the lack thereof) were crucial. The DSI Foundation has consistently contributed to advancing integrity standards and providing guidelines to enable professionals to serve their clients optimally, thereby strengthening trust in the sector. In a constantly evolving world, professionals must not only stay informed about regulations but also possess technical knowledge through continuous education. A moral compass requires regular recalibration. Through our commitment to certification, guideline development, awareness, and collaboration with stakeholders, we aim to contribute to promoting integrity in the financial sector. At its core, our mission remains true to our founding principles in 1999: advancing an upright and knowledgeable financial sector. What can you expect from us in the anniversary year? Publication of a whitepaper on Greenwashing: Analysis based on various roundtable discussions conducted in collaboration with EY on the current issue of Greenwashing and its impact on integrity in the financial sector – more information Event on Integrity and Expertise: In the second quarter, we will be organizing an event focused on integrity and expertise, bringing together professionals in the financial sector to discuss current issues and celebrate our 25th anniversary. Introduction of the AML Register: DSI will introduce a new register focused on Anti Money Laundering. For the professionals working daily on identifying and addressing financial crimes and promoting an integral business operation. Integrity Week: As part of our commitment to promoting integrity, we, as a partner, participate in the Integrity Week. During this event, we share our insights and experiences to increase awareness of integrity and disseminate information to our stakeholders. Among other initiatives, we continue to dedicate ourselves to integrity and expertise within the financial sector. On behalf of the DSI Foundation, we invite you to celebrate the anniversary year with us and participate in our activities and initiatives in 2024. We will keep you informed through our website, LinkedIn, and (quarterly) newsletters!
