Education and training

For the SAAM, as a trade association and recognized Self-regulatory Body (SRO), it is very important that its active members practice their profession with a high level of quality. That is why it is powerfully committed to the continuous education and training of its members, an activity that is also anchored in the SAAM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. It is the responsibility of the asset managers connected to the SRO to continuously educate and train themselves and those they employ in all areas of their professional activities by means of education and training seminars and self-study programs.

The maintenance of high training standards, particularly in the area of money laundering prevention is also an object of the periodic audits of the individual SAAM members by their auditors.

The SAAM supports its members with a variety of options for education and training in the form of seminars and information events:

• Seminars pertaining to money laundering prevention and the SAAM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
• Seminars on topics from the fields of finance, taxation and business
• Seminars for the training of auditors in the field of combating money laundering and the SAAM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, as well as the reviewing of SAAM members within the scope of an audit
• Information events in the form of breakfast and after-work meetings
