Register Integrity

For professionals working in the investment sector who have successfully completed the DSI integrity program

What does the register entail?

The importance of fair and honest behaviour for investment specialists is crucial in order to maintain the consumer’s trust in the financial sector. Incidents involving integrity and examples of potential mismanagement or a culture of fear top the headlines of newspapers every day. DSI strives to build a financial sector where fair and honest behaviour plays a key role in professional practice. The programme offers individuals a course of study that ensures professionals working in the financial sector all have a shared understanding of integrity and ethics within the sector. It is therefore vital for investment sector professionals to complete the training course.

Professionals listed in the DSI Integrity register must comply with the Code of Conduct drawn up by DSI. Certified Professionals listed in the DSI Integrity register have successfully completed examinations for knowledge and skills. They are the employees or contractors of organisations that are DSI participants. In the near future, the annual completion of the Continuing Professional Education programme will also be a requirement for inclusion in the register.
