STA Summer Party and Diploma Awards – July 2016

The evening started with the presentation of STA Diploma certificates to the latest cohort of successful candidates. Only some of the many who studied were able to be there in person as they live far away abroad or because of prior commitments, but we were delighted to welcome those that could make it. Luise Kliem FSTA, STA consultant and lecturer, gave a brief introduction to the two stages of the Diploma course. STA Chairman Axel Rudolph FSTA presented the certificates as Luise called them up one by one. 2 of the new MSTAs present – Simon Gray and Guillaume Osouf – achieved Distinctions. Well done to all!

The Awards Ceremony was followed by Philip Gray FSTA who gave a riveting talk on Chinese markets, and a networking Drinks and Canapes Reception.

STA Annual Dinner – November 2015

On Wednesday 25 November, the STA held its annual Dinner at the impressive National Liberal Club, One Whitehall Place. New faces and old friends gathered for pre-Drinks in the Smoking Room before sitting down to a three course dinner in the fabulous David Lloyd George room. This year’s guest speaker was Dr Greg Davies of Barclays Wealth, who gave an enlightening and entertaining talk on his speciality, behavioural finance.

The STA Annual Dinner also included announcing a new Fellow to the Society – Simon Warren. He has been instrumental in driving the STA forward, has made certain that the Society adheres to good corporate governance and always had the STA’s best interests at heart. He has recently helped modernise the Barbican library, put into place an investment committee and proof read the second version of the STA’s Home Study Course, all while being the STA’s treasurer for over a decade.

JPMorgan Corporate Challenge – July 2015

Despite Thursday 9th July 2015 being the first complete London underground strike in 13 years, STA runners weren’t daunted (though numbers slightly depleted) as they ran for charity at the annual JP Morgan fun run. Setting up team HQ at the Prince Albert pub garden, this was certainly not your typical financial gurus’ usual haunt.

Organised by STA executive committee member Tom Hicks MSTA and chairman Axel Rudolph FSTA, with vice chairman Charles Newsome MSTA one of the runners and Mark Tennyson d’Eyncourt FSTA manning the fort (built of rucksacks), the committee were out in force.

Told to strip and don fetching STA T-shirts, they obediently complied and posed to have their picture taken at the first ever STA event of its type. Superbly organised – and the weather couldn’t have been nicer – they set off in batches based on their own estimates of time to complete the 5.6 kilometre circuit. We are pleased to announce that there were no drop outs and no injuries.

A lovely and challenging evening was had by all.

STA Monthly Meeting & Summer Party – July 2019

Technical analysis has proven to be an invaluable method for trading or investing. But is it more than that? Rather than searching for new ways to slice and dice price into ever more complex indicators, should our focus not be on promoting the theoretical underpinnings of technical analysis to the wider investment community? Murray will explore the history of technical analysis and uncover why conventional, “fundamental” analysis actually followed it. He will highlight how the developing social science of Socionomics was born out of technical analysis and why it deserves to be front and centre in the debate over rethinking macroeconomics. Murray will bring it all together with a look at current market charts and forecasts.

This year, it was preceded by a special signing ceremony cementing our new industry collaboration with ACI UK and a talk by Murray Gunn MSTA, Elliott Wave International.
