• Dr Zhenxu Tong is researching Deviations from Optimal Corporate Cash Holdings and the Valuation from a Shareholder's Perspective with the help of a KPMG Global Valuation Institute research grant. This study will analyse how variations expected levels of cash holdings can affect the value of the company's shares and therefore the results may provide guidance to companies on how to maximise shareholder value by adjusting their cash holdings.
