The Transparency Label Initiative™

The global financial system has long suffered from opacity, allowing bankers to hide behind a veil that obscures risk and manipulates markets. This directly impacts your mortgage rates, savings interest, and the cost of goods.

The Transparency Label Initiative™ brings C.A.L.M. to the global financial system. It uses a label to draw a bright line between safe and unsafe financial products, and between rigged and unrigged financial markets.

"Drawing this bright line is important because the financial markets directly impact all of our lives."

We are dedicated to ending the behavior that allows markets to be rigged for personal gain at your expense, restoring systems that work for our collective benefit.

Core Principles

How we restore integrity to the financial system.

👁️

Know What You Own

The Transparency Label Initiative™ ensures investors can know exactly what they own or are buying. This applies to every aspect of the global financial system, removing the blindfold from the investor.

🛡️

Avoid Blindly Betting

Where the label is not present, investors are blindly gambling in a market rigged for the benefit of others. Nobody makes good investment decisions when blindly betting.

⚖️

Keep C.A.L.M.

By using a label to make a clear distinction between safe and unsafe, and unrigged versus rigged markets, we allow investors to keep C.A.L.M. and invest confidently.

🤝

Trust the Label

The Initiative is free from conflicts of interest that could question the integrity of its labels. To ensure integrity, the Initiative is paid for by the buy-side.

Introducing Transparency Games

By effectively steering investors away from blindly gambling, we end the ability of bankers to hide behind the veil of opacity.
