and encourage talented students who would otherwise not consider playing polo
regularly as a sport at university. We are now able to have regular professional
coaching which has led to our winning five SUPA divisions in the last two years

“I have been Senior Treasurer for more than 25 years since I qualified from
Cambridge after learning polo at Cambridge,” adds Mark Johnson. “They have
a close relationship with us and our Alumni which enables EFG to interact with
students who might be interested in joining EFG, as well as with Alumni who
want to bank with an organisation whose values the undergraduates can experience
through the sponsorship of the club.“EFG is encouraging the game at many levels
and worldwide, which must be a good thing for clubs and also must spread the word
about EFG as a quality organisation.”
“We at EFG like supporting events from scratch or helping if something driven by
all the right values is struggling to get funds,” is Keith Gapp’s view. Giving support
where it is needed is a core EFG belief and the bank shies away from only involving
itself with already successful events. “The wealthy individuals we deal with are
driven more by doing what they are really interested in and there is great value in
doing lower key events. That can give tremendous satisfaction and also chimes with
our clients’ beliefs.”
