We in the Money Business are privileged to have front-row seats, ringside at the economic "circus" and we need to help those outside the tent better understand what's happening and how it affects them -with honest, unbiased (as far as anyone can eschew bias, even if only of our beliefs) just as medicine needs to be transparent and politics needs to be open and honest, without conflicts of interest. That's if we're to live in a world where we don't need to be locked behind gates and our children hidden away in private schools and where health and welfare is determined by postcode,,, This newsletter is a step in that direction and I thank you all who have made it possible and who have contributed over those 5 years. And well done Chris for setting it up in the first place. Let's all resolve to contribute copy for the benefit of all those who deserve better from our business and to encourage more and better people to enter our business. Merry Christmas and here's to a Happy New to all those in the Money Business - and to those we affect.

Hi Philip, we appreciate this wonderful feedback. Indeed, most people working in wealth management, especially senior positions, are blessed by the amount they earn 'inside the tent', and need to consider their impact on others when making decisions. GH
