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 government was defeated on a motion reiterating the approach passed on 29 January after Eurosceptics abstained in protest at the implied opposition to no deal. It does not bind the government or show no support for an amended deal.
A state-dependent backstop break clause remains the most likely outcome, with the probabilities of a deal, no deal, and no Brexit still roughly 55:30:15, in my view. Parliamentary theatrics are not changing the facts on the ground.
