Visit from Chinese delegates to ICMA Centre

The ICMA Centre has just finished hosting 37 delegates from the Securities Association of China for a 3 week course on Asset Management studies.

The ICMA Centre has just finished hosting 37 delegates from the Securities Association of China for a 3 week course on Asset Management studies.

The 37 students represented many various members of the Securities Association of China and came from across their nation. Many of them would never have met each other if it weren’t for their inclusion on the ICMA course.

‘The visit has been a very positive experience for both the delegates and the teaching staff,’ says Professor Adrian Bell of the ICMA Centre, ‘Not only have the members of the Securities Association learnt a lot that will help them as they move forward in their careers, but they have also had a chance to forge exciting new networks across their home country and here in the UK.’

During their last week at Reading the delegates were treated to a special evening at the Greenlands campus of Henley Business School where they were presented with their certificates and treated to a barbecue on the lawns overlooking the Thames.

Reflections on switching as a regulatory intervention

In certain sectors - notably banking, energy and telecoms - customers are exhorted almost continuously to consider ‘switching’ supplier. Organisational structures have been developed to facilitate switching and the strategy of switching tends to be strongly supported by the regulator in those industries. For example, over 40 UK banks and building societies now participate in the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ run by the payment service, Bacs. In the energy sector, there is an ‘EnergySwitch guarantee’ and the regulator (Ofgem) provides advice on how to switch to a new supplier, as does Ofcom for the telecoms sector.
