It shall be the responsibility of all associated with Interpacific Investors to attain and maintain an adequate level of knowledge and skill, as well as the ability to recognize the need to seek advice in areas where they do not have the required level of knowledge and skill. All associated with Interpacific shall recognize that a client's financial success is predicated on many things, and they are often interrelated. People associated with Interpacific Investors Services shall deal with all contacts, be they clients, prospects, fellow representatives, peers, product vendors, and all other who they have a professional relationship in a fair manner. Fairness requires a subordination of one's own feelings and prejudices to the pursuit of impartiality and proper resolution and disclosure of conflicts of interest. The ultimate test of this fairness doctrine is to treat others in the fashion you would wish to be treated, and is an essential trait of a professional.
Associated persons have the responsibility to behave with dignity and courtesy.
The reputation of each individual reflects on each and every other individual associated with our firm. Associated people shall protect the confidential nature of the information given to them by their clients, unless otherwise required by consent or legal process. Associated people shall understand their responsibility to act in a prompt and diligent manner. Professionalism requires a unified message to clients, prospects, and our peers in the industry. Professionalism is not negative competition, either against a fellow IIS representative or a competitor.
