Robin loved life as a young investment banker in Tokyo and London. He was passionate about success and about his integrity. He believed that banks and the finance sector in general bring benefits to people and to commerce.

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.

The Ethics in Finance -  Robin Cosgrove Prize can reward your best young staff and recognize their commitment to important values, especially trust and integrity.

Please consider promoting the Prize through your own corporate intra-net as a tool for encouraging your young professionals to be more aware of the role of integrity and ethics in the finance business.

The Robin Cosgrove Prize is an ideal TOOL for training and staff development.

Business Schools and centres for the study of Finance are invited to partner with the Prize Administration to promote awareness of the competition and to encourage their students and alumni to reflect on the role of Ethics in Finance.
