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.

Brief comments after the announcement did not reiterate an intent to remove the backstop. Doing so would probably make a no-deal outcome my baseline, but a fast failure of negotiations before 13 September would risk a pre-Brexit election.
