Learning Objective

  • Identify unethical financial practices in investment. 
  • Examine the long-term impact of cherry-picking on trust.

Course Overview

In the world of investment, integrity is everything—so what happens when that trust is questioned? The case of Ken Leach, accused of cherry-picking trades for financial gain, raises serious concerns. This course delves into the concept of cherry-picking in finance, exploring its potential impact on transparency and public trust. Can one individual's actions tarnish an entire industry? How does selective reporting affect investor confidence and decision-making? These are the questions we’ll explore as we uncover the ethical implications of cherry-picking in investment practices. 

Major Topics: 

  • Cherry Picking Defined 
  • Ethical Implications in Finance

Join us as we examine Leach's case, what cherry-picking means, and why transparency is critical to maintaining a fair and trustworthy financial system. This is more than just a lesson in finance—it's a reminder of the importance of ethics in every business decision.
