ABOUT THE ICMA CENTRE: The Centre is an integral part of the triple accredited Henley Business School at the University of Reading.

The ICMA Centre is a leader in financial research, undertaking research and consultancy projects in a variety of areas, including asset pricing and portfolio management, corporate finance and corporate governance, financial econometrics, historical finance, and market microstructure. The town of Reading is situated on the river Thames, enjoys excellent communication links, is close to Heathrow (the UK's major airport) and just 25 minutes by train from central London. As a mark of its esteem, the 2013 European Financial Management Association conference is to be held at the ICMA Centre.
