UK Electoral Hopes Rise In Asian Victories

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.

Forecasts and Keir Starmer’s position are like Wile E. Coyote floating over the abyss. A more left-wing PM and Chancellor are likely after the local election losses in May.
