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 MPC voted unanimously to leave policy unchanged in November.
Inflation forecasts were maintained rather than being trimmed, contrary to my expectations. This stability maintains more hawkish pressure in their trade-off.
No guidance was issued about when rates might increase next, but that is unsurprising amid acute uncertainty in the Brexit process.
