CFA Institute Inclusion Code
About the Inclusion Code

The CFA Institute Inclusion  Code provides guidance to create an inclusive workplace for all employees in the investment industry, reflecting and addressing challenges that come with demographic, cultural, and societal variations across markets. This transformative code provides a structured framework supporting employers, executive leaders, investment professionals, Inclusion specialists, and HR professionals in crafting impactful and measurable strategies to enable better people management in the investment industry.


First launched in the USA and Canada and subsequently launched in the UK, Europe, Australia and Singapore, more than 200 organisations have now voluntarily adopted the Inclusion Code, building strong momentum for adaptation and adoption of the Code in more financial markets globally under the oversight of a dedicated Inclusion Steering Committee. Oversight includes strategic advice on all aspects of our industry inclusion work, including the Inclusion Code application process.


Inclusion Code signatories voluntarily submit confidential, annual progress reports using the Reporting Framework Dashboard. In turn, annual reporting enables CFA Institute to consolidate signatory Inclusion Code data into new industry statistics, providing a comprehensive and representative reference to further the investment industry’s inclusion ambitions to better serve clients.


Join us in shaping a more inclusive future for the investment industry. 

Supporting the Inclusion Code in Singapore

The CFA Institute Inclusion Code (Singapore) is supported by a group of dedicated industry leaders and practitioners who volunteer their time, expertise and perspectives to advance the Code's adoption and impact across Singapore's investment management and financial services community.


Working closely with CFA Society Singapore and CFA Institute, these volunteers contribute to industry engagement, thought leadership, awareness-building initiatives and the continued development of practical resources that support organisations on their inclusion journey.


Representing a diverse range of organisations and professional backgrounds, they play an important role in fostering dialogue, sharing best practices and strengthening industry collaboration to help create more inclusive workplaces across the investment profession.


We are grateful for their commitment and support in advancing the objectives of the CFA Institute Inclusion Code (Singapore).
