Ethics in the Real World - case study 2

Join us in our mission to raise ethical standards by contributing to the debate through these two questions.

After reading the case study about Susan's fund investment into Prospector Business, alongside her son's internship, what would you do?

Question Title

* 1. Which of these statements would you most agree with?

Susan should NOT have discussed her son’s interest in Prospector Business’ industry with Dan as this would always potentially place her in a difficult position

Susan should have disclosed her son’s internship once this was confirmed, to allow investors to assess her objectivity in light of this

An independent analyst should have been engaged to determine whether the rights issuance made economic sense prior to Susan’s purchase

Dan should have consulted with his Compliance function prior to sending Susan’s son’s CV to the head of the internship programme
