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 global economic impact of the Iranian conflict is sensitive to initial conditions, where a robust starting point keeps the shock relatively small and linear.
Slowing in the US services PMI is balanced by a booming ISM and strength elsewhere, including in the manufacturing sector. Employment is also improving outside the UK.
Resilience to the demand-side of the shock encourages policymakers to lean against the inflation risk, with the possibility of BoE and Fed cuts shrinking in response.
