Chancellor’s Awards Celebratory Reception

We are very proud of four of our ICMA Centre undergraduates who were honoured at this annual celebration hosted by the Chancellor, Sir John Madejski.

This was a fitting opportunity to mark the achievements of 70 of the University’s most talented students who achieved top marks in their School or subject area during the last academic year.

Included in these were ICMA Centre students Amy Ho and Juvereya Shoab who are now in their second year and Yihan Zhou and Aaron Lam who are finalists.

The Vice-Chancellor, Sir David Bell, congratulated the very best and highest academically achieving students and welcomed the Chancellor who was extremely pleased to celebrate the success of these students. Each recipient of the Chancellor’s Award is featured in a specially designed and created yearbook which they received during the Awards Reception along with a bespoke University pin-badge.

Many congratulations from all at the ICMA Centre to Amy, Juvereya, Yihan and Aaron!

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.
