ICMA Centre’s latest graduates celebrate in glorious sunshine

Last Friday 5 July 2013, the latest group of ICMA Centre students were joined by family and friends, to celebrate their graduation on a beautiful sunny day in Reading.

Over 300 students from across Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes enjoyed the ceremony taking place at the University of Reading’s magnificent Great Hall on the London Road campus.

They were joined by staff and academics back at the ICMA Centre, for a champagne reception with strawberries and cream and a glass of bubbly. Once pictures were taken and mortarboards tossed into the air, the ICMA Centre announced the winners of this year’s various academic prizes.

Congratulations to all of our graduates who now join our 3500 strong global alumni network with over 115 countries represented, follow this link to find out how to join. Stay in touch via our active Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter communities and share your pictures of the graduation on Instagram.

A full gallery of pictures taken at the ceremony can be found on our Facebook page.

The adoption of futures contracts on Bitcoin: A new era of cryptocurrency

According to the Financial Times, 31st October 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is expected to offer cash-settled futures contracts on Bitcoin by the end of 2017. CME, the world’s largest exchange by market value, has offered futures contracts on agricultural products, metals, energy, equity indexes, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, real estate, and even weather. With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, the CME has finally decided to enter into the unregulated digital asset market. Futures contracts on Bitcoin may help investors to either hedge or speculate on the future price of Bitcoin. Because almost all futures contracts are cash-settled in CME, traders do not need to actually deliver Bitcoin.

New Book: Corporate Governance: Theory and Practice

23 January 2012
Capitalism is high on the political agenda. Like coffee it seems to come in a bewildering number of varieties. Some politicians like it "responsible" others "moral" and still others "popular". While some argue that it is time for shareholders to wield real power, others feel that that certain shareholders, notably hedge funds should sit on their hands, at least if they have bought shares after a takeover has been announced. Out on the streets the tents of the "occupy" protectors may be under threat but many are sympathetic to the view that bankers and board members have been rewarded for taking too many risks with other people's money.
