Recognition
TheMarloweKeynesPrize
Awarded to the member who best exemplifies the Marlowe Keynes standard: intellectual rigor, analytical depth, and the courage to see what others miss.
Purpose
The Marlowe Keynes Prize exists to recognize the member who most fully embodies the values of our community. It is not given for the highest returns or the most impressive resume. It is given for the quality of thinking, the depth of analysis, and the willingness to challenge conventional wisdom with evidence and conviction.
Philosophy
We believe that the best investors and entrepreneurs share a common trait: they see the world more clearly than others. Not because they're smarter, but because they've trained themselves to look where others don't, to question what others accept, and to act when others hesitate.
The Prize celebrates this clarity of vision.
The Standard
Demonstrated mastery of fundamental analysis through original research
Intellectual courage — willingness to hold contrarian views supported by evidence
Contribution to the community through mentorship, discussion, and shared insight
Embodiment of the Marlowe Keynes values: rigor, integrity, and conviction
Selection
The recipient is selected annually by the Marlowe Keynes leadership in consultation with senior members and mentors. The selection process is private, and the announcement is made at the annual gathering. There is no application process — the Prize finds you.
