|
||
WHEREAS, CFA Societies Texas is holding its third annual | ||
summit in Austin on April 4, 2017, as it kicks off Putting Investors | ||
First Month; and | ||
WHEREAS, CFA Societies Texas is a collaboration of the four | ||
societies--those in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio--that | ||
represent Certified Financial Analysts in this state; CFAs are men | ||
and women who work especially in the areas of research and portfolio | ||
management; to earn the CFA credential, individuals must | ||
successfully complete a rigorous certification process, proving | ||
that they have a comprehensive understanding of investment | ||
management, that they follow strict ethical guidelines, and that | ||
they are committed to raising the standards of their industry; and | ||
WHEREAS, This year's Texas summit, "The State of | ||
Alternatives--Beyond Traditional Investing," features a number of | ||
distinguished speakers and a panel on pensions for chief investment | ||
officers; in Texas, the conference launches Putting Investors First | ||
Month, a campaign designed to unite investment professionals in a | ||
commitment to making investor interests paramount; as part of that | ||
commitment, investment managers are encouraged to endorse the CFA | ||
Institute Statement of Investor Rights, adopt the institute's Asset | ||
Manager Code, and incorporate the principles of the institute's | ||
Integrity List into their practice and raise awareness of those | ||
principles within their organization; Putting Investors First | ||
Month is part of the CFA Institute's Future of Finance initiative, a | ||
global effort to shape a trustworthy, forward-thinking financial | ||
industry that better serves society; and | ||
WHEREAS, Investing plays a vital role in growing a sound | ||
economy, and guided by the precepts of the CFA Institute, which | ||
promote the highest standards of ethics, education, and | ||
professional excellence, the analysts of CFA Societies Texas are | ||
helping to make the economy of the Lone Star State one of the | ||
strongest in the world; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate "The State of Alternatives" summit | ||
in Austin and extend to all those involved in the conference sincere | ||
best wishes for a meaningful and memorable event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for CFA Societies Texas as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
