About IFLC

IFLC is the leading global advocate for the certification of all organizations to whom people entrust the prudent handling of their financial assets. The certification programs that IFLC approves were independently developed. They are based on pension laws, trust laws, the law that guides charities on the management and investment of funds, court cases, and best practices. IFLC promotes aggressively the need for Investment Stewards and their Service Providers to be better fiduciaries.

IFLC is leading a much needed reformation in the processes that Investment Stewards use to manage other peoples' money. IFLC's reform initiative is based on Fiduciary Standards.

Standards endorsed by IFLC distil a consensus from the broadest possible base of stakeholder groups. In order to receive IFLC's endorsement, standards must emerge from expert input provided by those closest to the needs for the standards and to the results of implementing them. In this way, although voluntary, Fiduciary Standards endorsed by IFLC are widely respected and accepted by public and private sectors internationally.

When adhered to by Investment Stewards and Service Providers, Fiduciary Standards approved by IFLC improve competency, reduce conflicts of interest, and increase trustworthiness. As a not for profit entity, IFLC is ideally suited to fulfill its role as the global advocate for fiduciary excellence.
