Code of Conduct

Statement of General Policy

This Code of Ethics  has been adopted by Wealth N Value Investment Advisor and is designed to comply with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013 [sub-regulation (9) of regulation 15]

This Code establishes rules of conduct for all employees of Wealth N Value Investment Advisor  and is designed to, among other things, govern personal securities trading activities in the accounts of employees, immediate family/household accounts and accounts in which an employee has a beneficial interest. The Code is based upon the principle that Wealth N Value and its employees owe a fiduciary duty to Wealth N Value clients to conduct their affairs, including their personal securities transactions, in such a manner as to avoid (i) serving their own personal interests ahead of clients, (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of their position with the firm and (iii) any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility.

The Code is designed to ensure that the high ethical standards long maintained by Wealth N Value continue to be applied. The purpose of the Code is to preclude activities which may lead to or give the appearance of conflicts of interest, insider trading and other forms of prohibited or unethical business conduct. The excellent name and reputation of our firm continues to be a direct reflection of the conduct of each employee.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisers Regulation, both Wealth N Value and its employees are prohibited from engaging in fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative conduct. Compliance with this section involves more than acting with honesty and good faith alone. It means that the Wealth N Value has an affirmative duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interest of its clients.

Wealth N Value and its employees are subject to the following specific fiduciary obligations when dealing with clients:

• The duty to have a reasonable, independent basis for the investment advice provided;
• The duty to ensure that investment advice is suitable to meeting the clients individual objectives, needs and circumstances; and
• A duty to be loyal to clients.

In meeting its fiduciary responsibilities to its clients, Wealth N Value expects every employee to demonstrate the highest standards of ethical conduct for continued employment with Wealth N Value. Strict compliance with the provisions of the Code shall be considered a basic condition of employment with Wealth N Value. Wealth N Value's reputation for fair and honest dealing with its clients has taken considerable time to build. This standing could be seriously damaged as the result of even a single securities transaction being considered questionable in light of the fiduciary duty owed to our clients. Employees are urged to seek the advice of Divyansh jain, the Investment Advisor, for any questions about the Code or the application of the Code to their individual circumstances. Employees should also understand that a material breach of the provisions of the Code may constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including termination of employment with Wealth N Value.

The provisions of the Code are not all-inclusive. Rather, they are intended as a guide for employees of Wealth N Value in their conduct. In those situations where an employee may be uncertain as to the intent or purpose of the Code, he/she is advised to consult with Divyansh jain .  Divyansh jain may grant exceptions to certain provisions contained in the Code only in those situations when it is clear beyond dispute that the interests of our clients will not be adversely affected or compromised. All questions arising in connection with personal securities trading should be resolved in favor of the client even at the expense of the interests of employees.
