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.

Activity in the Euro area has improved amid a positive shift in pandemic data. Economic surveys reflect the reopening with a rapid mechanical rebound in Q2.
With the initial boost from reopening now well established, we expect to see a shift in the pace of growth reflected in a topping out of the main economic surveys next month.
How abruptly surveys roll-over will be one of the earliest signals of where economies will settle after their mechanical rebound, and thus the extent of persistent pain. As such, we see survey balance changes in Q3 as more interesting than their levels in Q2.
