A framework for ethical decision-making is defined as a set of principles established to aid investment professionals in conducting business with integrity. The CFA Institute has outlined six tenets of ethical behavior as outlined in LOS 1a.
Beyond understanding the six ethical considerations established by CFA, one must apply these principles through ethical analysis. It is important to recognize that ethical dilemmas are a normal and predictable part of most jobs. This realization will help increase the likelihood that you will notice and act on ethical issues before they become destructive.

- Continuous provision of educational resources to the members of a profession
