- Professional Excellence: Continuing education to gain greater knowledge and enhance previous knowledge, to better understand the multitude of financial concepts learned and to seek more effective ways to use the know-how in one’s own work. Through meetings, fora, symposia, dialogues, workshops, seminars and conferences, the FINEX member not only acquires ideas but is able to test his or her thinking against those of others.
- Social Involvement: This has taken many forms, e.g. community outreach programs, direct material assistance, livelihood projects, skills enhancement seminars, cooperatives organization and development.
- National Issues: In matters of national concern, especially on financial issues with great national impact, FINEX has taken an active role while being apolitical. Regularly through the National Affairs Committee, Tax and Legal Committee and through other committees, FINEX has participated in enriching public debate with analyses and logic, through formal studies, published opinions, position papers and memorandums to legislators. FINEX has likewise been involved in capital market development through the Capital Market Development Council which it co-chairs with the Department of Finance. This Council has institutionalized the cooperation of private sector and government in discussing and supporting public policies that promote the raising of capital in financial markets, so important to encouraging much-needed investments in the economy.

Standing Committees – Professional Development, Membership, Elections, Ethics

- Initiative and Leadership: FINEX takes the initiative to assist in the spirit of public service if there is an opportunity to do something good that requires the particular knowledge, skills and experience of the financial executive.
- Good Governance, Public Sector Accountability and Business Ethics: FINEX has created a Good Governance Committee to advocate for good corporate governance and public sector accountability. Its Ethics Committee is involved in promoting ethical behavior and values formation amongst FINEX members and has reached out to students of various universities via fora and case studies.
