Dear Thalesians, Our organisation has formed a strong and lasting partnership with Prof. Claudio Albanese, one of the world's foremost experts on quant modelling and GPU computing. You may have seen numerous publications on his novel methods. You have probably read about them in Quantitative Finance, on Bloomberg and elsewhere. Claudio's approaches are always original and always ingenious. Therefore I'm very excited by the news of the launch of Global Valuation Ltd, Claudio's company. And I'm honoured to inform you that we, the Thalesians, have been selected to facilitate this launch. Claudio will give two talks over two weeks. On June 7th he will be in New York. On 15th June he will give a talk in London. They will be very special events to celebrate Claudio's new initiative. Global Valuation will provide drinks and refreshments. It's a great opportunity to meet Claudio and learn about his unique approach to quantitative finance. It's also a great opportunity to learn about global valuation, risk, and asset pricing in general. I look forward to seeing you at Claudio's talk in London and my colleagues will greet you in New York. Best wishes, Paul
