In what ways do honesty and integrity matter in investment banking

Hi,

I feel that perhaps unfortunately, some people, within and outside of investment banking, assume that honesty and integrity doesn't matter in investment banking. I think it's kind of important whenever you're doing anything, to be honest, and have integrity. In what ways do honesty and integrity matter in investment banking? Hope this isn't a bad question.

 

Sounds like research to write an essay for either a communications or an ethics class. 

 

Dude, no, it's not. I can probably say because within IB it matters in terms of giving clients a fair and ethical experience or something. Or I can say, it involves closely adhering to regulations, which is an ethical thing to do. But I know these are kind of bad answers, I'd probably get an A on the paper though.

So it is for a paper.

 

Culpa ea optio praesentium quas dignissimos. Quia voluptas est eligendi enim molestiae.

Esse corporis ut omnis voluptas sit tempore. Hic aliquid ducimus reprehenderit magni eveniet. Voluptas suscipit pariatur quasi nesciunt impedit qui. Voluptatibus ut ut voluptates laborum esse eligendi.
