Code of Conduct
ACI is proud to have participated in the creation of the FX Global Code and believes that it provides an excellent framework for ethical conduct that will be enhanced and refined as market circumstances demand.
As longstanding proponents and influencers of ethical conduct, ACI welcomes the progress made by the FX Working Group in respect of defining Code principles, governance and adherence. An active member of the Market Participants Group reporting to the BIS FX Working Group, ACI contributed directly to this important industry initiative and will continue to contribute to the GFXC (Global Foreign Exchange Committee) that has assumed ownership and responsibility for the future development of the Code. ACI will also participate directly in ongoing market consultation on specific Code Principles.
The CFP is responsible for developing and maintaining ACI FMA’s proprietary market principles and practices guidelines (formerly ACI Model Code) which provide comprehensive guidance to market participants on broader financial markets best practices across the trading lifecycle from front end execution to back office processing.
In the event of a dispute, the CFP is able to offer expert guidance and recommendations for resolution. In certain cases, the Chair of the ACI CFP may be called as an expert witness.
ACI’s suite of Code-compliance tools and services support market participants – individual and organisation – to understand, adhere and attest to ‘compliance’ with Codes of Conduct (and other internal, national and international Codes of Conduct), and to convert principles to best market practice.
