Before that, he was UK Economist at Barclays Wealth, where he also developed strategic asset allocation models for their market return portfolios.

Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

Rapid rate hikes are trying to crush excess inflation as recessionary forces build. Monetary policy will eventually need to loosen back towards a neutral setting.
Markets price cuts by the BoE and Fed during 2024 when the Euro curve slopes up again, despite the ECB now recognising it will first need to hike beyond neutral.
We see a more curvaceous ECB path as likely to be followed. The monetary policy strategy is now clear, with evidence of falling demand supporting an inversion.
