The Henley Business School today announced that it has reached an agreement with Thomson Reuters for its world-class Executive Hedge Fund Program, created with Program Advisor Steve Bernstein, launched in September in Hong Kong.

Established by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) Centre at Henley Business School, the Program is a world class course that has been designed specifically for professionals within the financial services industry, providing a holistic hands-on real-practice understanding of Hedge Funds.

Thomson Reuters will support Henley Business School across a number of areas of the Executive Hedge Fund Program, including hosting the program in their office space and providing training using the Thomson Reuters systems.

The Henley Business School and Thomson Reuters have a long established relationship; with Thomson Reuters sponsoring all three of the School’s dealing rooms on its main campus in the UK. Located in the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School, the dealing rooms form an integral part of the School’s teaching and learning style, with the technology and facilities allowing students to put theory into practice.

Commenting on the arrangement, Neil Logan, Director, Asia Pacific for Henley Business School, said, “We are very excited that we will be working closely with Thomson Reuters to deliver the program. We firmly believe that this sponsorship of our pioneering program provides our participants with the best possible environment to facilitate a positive learning experience.”

Steve Bernstein, added, “We are delighted to have a range of experienced individuals and businesses from multiple industry backgrounds, providing our participants with a broad range of perspectives, world class knowledge and real-world experience. In fact, due to such strong interest in the program, we’re planning a second course to start in February in Hong Kong as well as launch our first in Singapore in 2016.”
