The Top Class Wednesday Update doesn’t do unsubstantiated attention seeking headlines
Tom McPhail takes us through the Mansion House Reforms and a blizzard of policy papers on pension schemes, retail disclosures and investment pathways.
The Top Class Wednesday Update won’t keep you
It’s Budget day, siblings, so I won’t keep you too long. In fact I can’t ever keep you. This is just an email; I haven’t got you trussed up in a corner somewhere.
The Top Class Wednesday Update is easily distracted by squirrels
What’s exciting in the world of regulation this week? From my position behind the bird feeder it’s come from the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee.
The Top Class Wednesday Update is 200, sort of
Well now, it seems like forever since I’ve had my hands dirty with the Update, ably assisted as I am by Rich, Old Tom (as opposed to Young Tom) and diverse others these days. In fact it’s only been three weeks, but as we all know a lot can happen in such a short time […]
I’m a Top Class Wednesday Update get me out of here
Mr Polson is away this week, having indulged his guitar-playing Mr Hyde persona and most excellently tearing up the PFS Conference. For anyone who got too close, counselling is available. I’ll come to the pensions in a minute. But in the week we celebrate both the dark and the supernatural (and for some reason, pumpkins), […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update gets it and is listening
Good afternoon, Mike here. Right about now (assuming you are reading this on Wednesday lunchtime/afternoon) we will be smack in the middle of our second #langcatlive for 2022, the HomeGame in Edinburgh.

Even with my limited pensions wisdom, it’s not escaped […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update was live
So we came, we did it, we drank all the drinks and then we left again. And now, as the covers are pulled back over #langcatlive until the early autumn when we will – spoiler alert – do an in-person Home Game in Edinburgh, we have that nice moment of reminiscing when we can decide […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update never runs out of gas
So, so many gas jokes you could make this week – do you go down the industry being full of hot air route, the Mark-Locke-with-a-hangover-after-the-Platform-Awards route, the wasn’t-me-it-was-the-dog route, or simply repeat Marina Hyde’s gag of this morning that if you want a really solid investment you should pop out and buy a Calor Gas […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE – NOW WITH 34% LESS GLUTEN!
In a world where Greggs The Bakers sees its profits rise 9% because of vegan sausage rolls, where the people that regulate advisers can’t work out when the bad advisers they’ve regulated have gone to be regulated advisers somewhere else and left their liabilities behind, and the good ones are buried in a blizzard of […]
