“Money doesnt recognise geography” This is a session hosted by national and international #investors at #climb24 We have over 200 investors from all over the world coming to find great businesses to invest in - and none of them care where they are based I am never going to complain about more money being invested in the region but #founders need to get their businesses in a shape to compete for investment on a national and international level The UK is the 3rd largest country for VC so we do have money on our doorstep Equally with our partners Department for Business and Trade we will be talking about how both funds and businesses can access international investment The challenge i think is that often businesses in the north just dont know what is available and how to access it Join us at climb24 on 5th and 6th june to lean - honestly everything you need is on your doorstep!!! And a ticket is less than the price of a train to london and a hell if a lot more fun !!!!

Top 20 wealth managers / private banks by AUM A stat that interested me: “There was a significant difference in the AUM of the top 20 managers. While the top seven have AUM of over £50 billion, to make the top 20, a manager needed just £17.5 billion in AUM, arguably demonstrating the fragmented nature of the UK wealth management industry.” Thanks Amit John #wealthmanagement #AUM #thewealthnet #stephensonexecutivesearch

Leading banking, investment, and technology leaders anounce its "Time to invest in Britain" as £63 BILLION of investment is promised! At Monday's International Investment Summit, more than a dozen bosses at the world's largest banks, PE firms, insurers and tech giants have signalled their optimism in the future of the British economy. Senior leaders at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Citi, KKR, Blackstone, Aviva and Legal & General were all present at the event and signatories on a statement backing Britain's educational system, history and economy, stating; “As global investors, we believe that there is a very real opportunity for the UK to grow its economy by attracting international investment." Britain’s educational establishments, legal system, financial services sector and language form the bedrock of a strong investment proposition. Technological developments, advances in the energy system and greater freedom in capital flows have further enhanced Britain’s position. With greater stability, its attractiveness is increased even further. We are optimistic about the future of the economy, and believe it is time to invest in Britain." The summit also marking the announcement of £63bn of investment from a range of investors creating the best part of 38,000 jobs. With UK business confidence at a nine-year high according to Lloyds Bank's latest Business Barometer, at a 45% YTD average (well above the long-term average of 29%!), UK inflation expected to fall below the 2% target for the first time in 3 years, and further rate cuts looking likely to end the year... is the UK economy set to turn the corner? What's your outlook for the end of 2024 and, importantly, 2025? Would love to hear people's opinions!

Anyone trade Sarron Futures..? there can’t be many looking at the daily volume since the switch over from Euroswiss. We have seen Sonia grow steadily over the 2 years, with a near record day last week of ~3.8m contracts traded. Looking at Sarron we seem to be in this negative loop where every order is an iceberg and no one wants to show a firm interest as it will drive the market away. I think a white, red pack along with a 2yr Bundle would be useful, but would anyone show prices? I’m keen to hear from participants interested to see if we can increase genuine liquidity in these futures, drop me a msge or ping me a bloom to chat. #markets #ice #futures #options
