Congratulations to the winners of the Chancellor’s Award 2013!

The ICMA Centre students awarded the Chancellor's Award 2013 are; Amy Ho, Juvereya Shoab, Chunxin Zhou and Yunjie Xiao, who are the top four performing students in last year’s Part 1 and Part 2 of the BSc Finance and Investment Banking programme. For the second year running Amy Ho and Juvereya Shoab have been awarded this celebrated prize since they were top performing students also in the first year of their study at this University.

The Chancellor’s Award is the most prestigious student award scheme at the University of Reading, which recognises the highest achieving students across the University. This year, just 72 students have been selected who have achieved the highest results in their subject at the end of either their first or second year. Many congratulations from all at the ICMA Centre to Amy, Juvereya, Chunxin and Yunjie!

Academics Win Best Corporate Finance Paper Award 2016

8 November 2016
"Institutional Cross-ownership and Corporate Strategy: The Case of Mergers and Acquisitions" by Professor Chris Brooks, Dr Yeqin Zeng, and PhD Zhong Chen has been awarded Best Corporate Finance Paper at the 2016 Southern Finance Association annual conference. About the paper: The paper provides new evidence on the important role of institutional investors in affecting corporate strategy. We study institutional investors who hold stocks of both acquirers and targets before the announcements of mergers and acquisitions (M&As). The existence of these institutional cross-owners not only increases the probability of two firms merging, but also affects the outcomes of M&As. Institutional cross-ownership reduces target firm prices, lowers completion probabilities of deals with negative acquirer announcement returns, and increases the use of stock payment in M&A transactions. Furthermore, deals with high institutional cross-ownership have lower transaction costs and disclose more transparent financial statement information.
