Mirae Asset Securities struck an agreement on the financial ethics certification with Korea Academy of Financial Consumers (KAFC) on Oct. 5. Mirae Asset Securities announced the introduction of the ethics certificate system the next day.

The introduction of the financial ethics certificate system for executives and staffers comes after Mirae Asset Financial Group declared that it would only sell only products with a competitive edge to customers.

The group also declared the reestablishment of all executives and staffers’ on-the-job ethics.

Executives and staffers at Mirea Asset are expected to earn a certificate after finishing an educational program on financial ethics, where they will undergo an examination.

KAFC has installed a financial ethics certification committee in charge of education, verification of evaluation content and supervision.

The educational program is expected to include on-the-job ethics, situational ethics, professional spirit, duties to customers, cases of financial disputes and things financial company executives and staffers should know and obey.

Executive Vice Chairman Choi Hyun-man of Mirae Asset Securities said, “As the Act on the Protection of Financial Consumers has gone into effect and trust toward financial companies is getting important than any other, it takes on significance since Mirae Asset Securities has teamed up with KAFC to launch the nation’s first project related to the certification of financial ethics for executives and staffers.”

He expressed hope the agreement will serve as an opportunity for Mirae Asset Securities executives and staffers to recognize the importance of financial ethics and change their mind to a customer-oriented attitude.
