THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS BOO TO TABOOS
Well hello again, and I hope you are finding the bright side in a week where everything moved at warp speed from decidedly suboptimal to post-apocalyptic. If you’re finding that hard to do then you’re not alone, and we have some stuff for you. This is another one of those Updates which isn’t to do […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SEES BOTH SIDES
Back again, just as many of you head off on your half term hols. I spent a chunk of mine in Whitby, which is an excellent place. In just three days I experienced 75mph winds, fish and chips at the Magpie (twice) and an unplanned visit to a steampunk festival. You can’t get much more […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE JUST WANTS ITS MONEY BACK
Over the last year, the TCWU has become as much a public service as a fascinating, erudite, entertaining and above all indispensable companion to your hoisin duck wrap or whatever on a Wednesday lunchtime.

Nostalgia, siblings, ain’t what it used to be. Nor are many other things, including (in no particular order): my eyesight, the size of playground slides, the age of policemen, the state of our democracy, and assets under administration in the UK advised platform market. Whoops! See what I did there, Susan, I snuck a little […]
SCORES ON THE DOORS – HOW THE ADVISED PLATFORM MARKET FARED IN 2018
Well, the covers are off and we now have full year 2018 data for the advised platform market. It’s been quite a year – if it was a box set we reckon it would be series 2 of The Wire. It’s been that gripping. You’ll no doubt read lots of stuff about individual company results […]
THE STATE OF OUR WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS TOP CLASS
Yes indeed, with the terrifying gaze of a scornful Nancy Pelosi, the lang cat’s Top Class Wednesday Update is here once again to stare at the back of the financial industry’s carefully coiffed head and launch highly specific investigations, right at your inbox. Three things on my mind that I think are worthy of your […]
