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

Chief Economist

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.

The ECB followed through on its precommitment by raising its policy rates by 25bps again in July. It looks beyond slower headline inflation to excessive underlying rates.
Subsequent decisions will depend on the data as the ECB is “no longer in the domain of forward guidance”. We still expect slower underlying inflation and an ECB pause.
A clear hawkish bias from the ECB and the Fed preserves space for BoE hikes beyond next week. Excessive wage deals make the UK’s state worse than its global peers.
