JF - The Journal of Investing SP - 107 LP - 115 DO - 10.3905/joi.2015.24.3.107 VL - 24 IS - 3 AU - Bradley Berman Y1 - 2015/08/31 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/24/3/107.abstract N2 - The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published its final report on “Principles for Financial Benchmarks” in July 2013.
