Over 260 of the UK's top independent financial advisers
and financial planners recently attended the New Model Adviser
Conference in London (14-15th January 2010) and were privileged to be
able to listen to, and question, David (Danny) Blanchflower,
Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College in the US, our keynote speaker.
Professor Blanchflower is best known in the UK as a
member of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee (MPC)
during June 2006 to June 2009 when he consistently called for rate cuts
in defiance of his peers. He left the MPC last year after again
clashing with the other members.
He had a vitally important message for all
of our clients and for anyone else who is investing for their
future. We have produced a précis from notes that we took
of Professor Blanchflower’s speech, The UK economy:
Where does it go from here? combined with notes which various Citywire
journalists took of that speech and which have been published on the Citywire
website. We would encourage our clients and anyone else who is investing
for their future to read or download our Guide:
A Sobering Economic Outlook 2010.
