I saw this advert and received this invite and accepted. AVCs and small DC pots may be small in value — but their governance, data, and compliance risks are anything but. In this exclusive webinar, Dalriada and expert partners will unpack why these arrangements are becoming a regulatory and financial tipping point — and how Dalriada. DCC offers a smarter way forward.

Headlines like this are a bit shouty and the event I went to yesterday afternoon was not shouty at all. In fact it was very good. A privilege and a thankyou I am not a client of "Hogan Lovells" and grew up know Lovell White Durant and before that "King". I amused myself by honing in on their offices in Holborn only to discover they have moved to the other side of the bridge over Farringdon Road.

Right now LCP's podcasts are a distance ahead of what else is worth listening to (a lot). The problem is getting listened to for all the work that Stuart and others put into their work. Which is why I hope some of my blogs jog people into signing up to get feeds to some of these pods - ooh - a bit laboured - but I hope you know what I mean!

You are cordially invited to attend our next online event.  Today, Tuesday October 7th 10.30 am. You can join here Matt Setchell from Octopus Energy Generation (part of  Octopus Energy) will be presenting his opinions on accessing private market funds. In these uncertain markets, investors are looking for ways to allocate to uncorrelated private market strategies. However, the complexity to access and the lack of liquidity in these funds can be a challenge for investors, who might require more visibility on how they will be able to liquidate their investment within shorter timeframes than the typical life of private market funds.

I know Dan does podcasts of his own when he explains what is going on in his head but I don’t really get them. I want to know him selling the job he’s doing in one of the most important…

Sweden, a welfare system that works and is affordable. A funded pension system that is forward looking and a country that is proud of the financial services it delivers to its population. To me, Sweden is a better model for financial services including British pensions and I'm glad that the FT's Patrick Jenkins isn't shy in praising the Swede's stock market success…

I know Dan does podcasts of his own when he explains what is going on in his head but I don't really get them. I want to know him selling the job he's doing in one of the most important jobs in investment in the UK. People's may not be the biggest today, but he points out that it's growing pretty fast.

Is there a wish for us to read articles in serious papers about young and old at war with each other? I spent a happy family weekend finding out ways I could support my mother and my children, while they supported me, as young adults and genuinely old people do! I did not feel beset , nor should anyone. We are clear how we go forward, it will be the best way for us all and is entirely dependent on how tax falls on us (and how we can plan to minimise it.

For those in their sixties and older "Somerset and Dorset" were linked by having a joint railway (Slow and Dirty) . Dorset and Somerset folk have always thought of themselves as different from one another! I've spent the weekend in Somerset (Yeovil) and Dorset (Shaftesbury). These counties aren't as distant from London as Cornwall and Devon but there is a defiance to being pushed about that is clear from this article by…

Robert Gardner One billion oysters. That’s the mission. 🌊🐚 This morning, in Zeeland with the Oyster Heaven team and board, I saw how bold goals can become living, breathing realities. 👉 Clay “Mother Reefs” seeded with baby oysters. 👉 Water is cleaner. 👉 Marine life moving back in. It’s infrastructure. It’s cost-effective. It’s investible. Because one oyster filters 200 litres of water a day.

This article is by the great Dan Neidle As the owner of a trading company that was founded in 2018 and runs happily today producing full accounts, I am surprised that PPE Medpro didn't. We fume that PPE Medpro is now in administration and that the £122m that has been found to be owed to the Exchequer may not be re-paid.
