City Finance Fair 2013
The City Finance fair 2013 took place yesterday, 10th October in the ICMA Centre Atrium. The event was aimed at introducing specialist organisations to Henley Business School students and was an excellent opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and network of contacts.
Graham Philpott, Career Development Consultant, who organised the event said “It’s so important for students to talk to organisations rather than rely on internet research as Finance is an industry built on relationships. ”
Amongst the companies attending were Validus Risk Management, OSTC, FundApps Ltd, & Old Mill Accountants & Financial Planners. Pictures from the day are available on our Facebook page at this link.

A Free Lunch?

Fidelity, the asset manager with $2.4 trillion assets under management, recently announced the launch of two index mutual funds with a 0% fee! This announcement is interesting for several reasons. First, the asset management industry has been involved in an intense price war and this new fee level of 0% represents a very tough benchmark for the competition to beat. Not surprisingly, the share price of rival asset managers fell by a few percentage points shortly after the announcement. Second, the new fee level is unusual as it indicates that, for the first time, investors could get exposure to both US and international equities without incurring any fee. This is a curious business decision. How will Fidelity manage to pay for all its expenses? Will this product be a loss-making venture? Is there more to it than meets the eyes?
