On Wednesday 3rd April 2013 Henley Business School held an Alumni reunion at La Mer Cafe in the Jing'an district of Shanghai.

Welcomed by Professors Adrian Bell, Head of ICMA Centre, Kecheng Liu, Head of BISA, Jill Solomon, BISA and Dr Weizi Li, IRC - the event saw 32 alumni attend from across all areas of the business school. We were pleased to see so many familiar faces and to notice in particular the many ICMA Centre alumni attending the event.

The academics from Henley Business School had been invited as guests at a symposium at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics to launch a joint research initiative into Financial Informatics and Service Engineering.

The event was a chance to mingle and gave Henley Business School Alumni the perfect opportunity to reflect on their time at the University of Reading, and to discuss current and future developments. As farewells were said all expressed their hopes that we would meet up again soon.

The LIBOR/ TIBOR ‘Scandal’

12 February 2013
The large fine imposed on RBS last week suggests that a ‘scandal’ took place in the banking world over the setting of LIBOR. Yes – there was probably systematic mis-pricing of LIBOR which enabled some traders and some banks to profit at the expense of others. But the LIBOR issue simply highlights a much wider problem in financial markets which is that many ‘prices’ quoted in markets are not market prices at all. Instead they are prices based on computer models, matrix pricing or sheer guesswork, which may or may not produce ‘accurate’ prices. The reason for using computers models and guesswork is that in many financial products there actually are no transactions at all or very few even over periods of some weeks or months and thus no market prices.
