“It is finally dawning on more and more people that leaving the EU was a colossal mistake.” Brexit has led to “supply chain disruptions, staffing shortages, higher food prices and extra red tape for business. Public opinion is shifting towards remorse. Instead of hurtling away from the EU into the swaggering prosperity promised by the Leave campaign, Britain is instead receding into a dark timeline of recession, strikes, and political instability. Last week, it was forecast that Britain will be the only G7 economy to shrink in 2023.”

“UK asset managers have listed numerous concerns surrounding the UK’s upcoming split from the European Union including staffing, delegation and passporting issues.” In jeopardy stands “the UK’s position as the largest asset management centre in Europe” and some European clients have already said “they had chose to contract with managers in other jurisdictions rather than face uncertainty surrounding contracting with a UK-based entity.”
