Why is there the Robin Cosgrove Prize?
He travelled widely throughout the world. His experiences convinced him that the finance sector should serve the common good as well as making profits. He was concerned that complicated financial products would blur ethical and practical considerations. For him, trust was the essence of good banking. But he feared that many young finance professionals were losing touch with the fundamentals. He set his life goal to promote better understanding of the critical importance of trust, ethics and personal and corporate integrity. Sadly, at much too young an age, he lost his life in an accident on Mont Blanc. The Prize, with its core focus on Ethics in Finance, is a small step to encourage young people to commit to Robin’s ideals. Vision and Mission of the Prize
