Chief Economist

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.

Next week’s calendar is only slightly less bare of releases, with UK GDP and final EA inflation data our highlights. There are plenty of policymaker speeches, though.
As our flow of research resumes after the Easter lull, I’m honoured to accept the Consensus Economics award for most accurate forecaster of the UK economy in 2025.
