Our Ethics
The Prosperity Wealth Management team is committed to conducting business in an ethical manner, recognizing the corporate and personal responsibility we owe to our clients, our employees, our community, and our profession.
This code has been developed to provide guidance to our staff on the minimum ethical standards we will accept within our business. The principles are not rules but a statement of general principles that will guide our decision-making process when confronted with difficult choices.
All staff will apply these principles in our everyday business activities and conduct. By doing so, we will be confident that we can exceed client expectations, meet our commitments, and enhance our reputation.
We aim to engender a culture and a working environment where our employees are proud of the work we do, and the impact we have on our clients' lives.
WE WILL always conduct ourselves with the following uppermost in our minds:
Trustworthiness
We will demonstrate, realise and promote the value of trustworthiness and act in good faith in our relationships with all people.

In 2020, The government introduced the Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) Code of Ethics. This Code of Ethics is compulsory for financial advisers and seeks to impose ethical duties that go above the requirements of the law. It is designed to encourage and embed higher standards of behaviour and professionalism in the financial advice industry. As a result, although the values above are closely aligned with the new code of ethics, we are bound by, and strongly adhere to, the FASEA Code of Ethics Effective 1st Jan 2020.
In all circumstances above, the FASEA Code of Ethics takes precedence.
