Alternative Decisions exists to improve our alternative investment industry. Our Constitution is an inner compass that keeps us moving in the right direction. The table below sets out the principles we believe and puts them into practical terms. Principle
| What this means
| How we achieve it
| In action day-to-day
| Improve the treatment of investors
| As wealth holders investors are not always treated fairly, therefore, we work for and to improve investors lives. | - Always act in investors best interests
| - Listen and learn by interacting with our users
| | Respect the interests of fund managers | Fund managers should be open and transparent as much as possible. We respect discretion is needed with regard to certain functions and will endorse reasons for privacy to the investor where it causes no harm to the investor. | - Share knowledge to improve operations
- Represent viewpoints where acceptable but challenge conventions where unacceptable
| - Listen and learn by interacting with fund managers
| | Achieve and aim for higher standards | Distrust and misinformation have diluted standards people accept and those achieved. We want to inspire better standards through industry wide adoption of best practise and principles. | - Work with industry bodies to define and deploy best practise
| - Work in a manner that surpasses expected standards
| Be effective
| There are many distractions nowadays and an eye on getting things done does not always mean something is effective. A focus on results and standards improves effectiveness.
| - Work with groups to improve the effectiveness of our work
- Constantly reinvest and reinvent
| - Focus on core tasks and measure results
- Avoid hyperbole
