Code of Business Conduct

Our Standard of Integrity

1. Introduction

At FinancialReports, trust is our currency. Our clients—including hedge funds, asset managers, and academic institutions—rely on the integrity and accuracy of our data. This Code of Business Conduct outlines the ethical standards we expect from our employees, contractors, and partners.

2. Data Integrity & Insider Trading

Zero Tolerance for Front-Running

We strictly prohibit using non-public information obtained through our platform operations for personal financial gain.

  • Prohibition on Trading: Employees with access to our backend ingestion pipeline are prohibited from trading securities of companies where they have viewed material non-public filings before those filings are accessible to our general user base or the public.
  • Data Neutrality: We do not alter, delay, or selectively release data to favor specific clients. Our processing pipeline operates on a strict first-in, first-out basis.

3. Anti-Bribery & Corruption

We comply with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws, including the UK Bribery Act and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). We do not offer, give, or receive bribes or improper payments to obtain or retain business.

4. Confidentiality & Data Privacy

Protecting client data is paramount. We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols:

  • Client Anonymity: We do not disclose the identity of our clients or their specific search queries to third parties, except where required by law.
  • Search Privacy: We understand that a search query (e.g., searching for a specific small-cap company) can be a signal of investment intent. We treat search logs with the highest level of security classification.

5. Reporting Concerns

If you believe a violation of this Code has occurred, please report it immediately. We maintain a non-retaliation policy for reports made in good faith.
