Our Commitment to Integrity
At GestInvest, integrity is not merely a principle — it is the foundation of our operations, partnerships, and decisions.
We believe that ethical conduct and responsible governance are inseparable from long-term value creation. Every investment, partnership, and advisory engagement is guided by a clear ethical compass: to act in the best interests of our clients, investors, and the broader ecosystem we serve.
Governance Framework
GestInvest operates under a robust governance framework that ensures transparency, accountability, and independence at every level of decision-making.
Our governance model is anchored on:
Board Oversight: independent supervision of management and investment activities;
Ethical Mandate: strict adherence to international best practices in compliance, ESG, and fiduciary duty;
Conflict of Interest Policy: full disclosure and proactive mitigation of potential conflicts;
Confidentiality & Data Protection: absolute respect for client privacy and regulatory compliance under GDPR.
This structure ensures that every decision — from investment approval to partnership selection — reflects our unwavering standards of integrity and trust.
Compliance Principles
Our compliance programme aligns with EU, UK, and OECD regulations, as well as with the ethical guidelines followed by regulated financial institutions and family offices.
Key elements include:
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) controls;
Know Your Client (KYC) verification and due diligence protocols;
Data Privacy & Cybersecurity measures across all digital infrastructures;
Whistleblower Mechanism ensuring internal transparency and accountability;
Regular Audits & Reporting to maintain continuous compliance integrity.
GestInvest’s compliance policies are designed not only to meet legal requirements but to exceed them — reflecting our commitment to ethical excellence and reputational strength.
Ethical Culture & Responsibility
We promote an internal culture where ethics is not enforced — it is embraced.
Our professionals are encouraged to act with independence, prudence, and discretion, always safeguarding client interests above commercial outcomes.
Training, ethical leadership, and continuous education are integral parts of our internal development strategy, ensuring that our team remains aligned with GestInvest’s moral and professional standards.
Sustainability & ESG Integration
Ethics at GestInvest extends beyond compliance — it encompasses responsibility towards society and the environment.
We integrate ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles into our investment and advisory decisions, prioritising transparency, sustainability, and positive impact in all capital allocation processes.
Our belief is simple: financial performance without ethical and social value is incomplete.
Reporting Concerns
GestInvest maintains a confidential and secure channel for reporting any ethical or compliance concerns.
Reports can be submitted anonymously through a protected internal system, reviewed directly by the Compliance Officer and Governance Committee.
All concerns are investigated thoroughly, with zero tolerance for retaliation.
Conclusion
Ethics and compliance are not departments — they are the DNA of GestInvest.
By holding ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, we ensure that every action, partnership, and investment reflects not only sound judgement but moral clarity.
This is what defines us as a trusted partner for those who seek to build lasting value — responsibly.
