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 democratic deficit of another technocratic leader is likely to strengthen populist pressures. However, the postponement of election risk is a relief to markets, especially with such a well-respected figure being invited to the helm.
