I have to say that the Facts4EU piece was not their best at all. On the one hand, they cite the importance of the Edinburgh contribution to overall assets managed by U.K. PLC by way of a percentage share, but then precede that in saying that the U.K. total has increased by a percentage amount. Well, it would, as financial assets generally have increased in value this year/last 12 months. They do not show what the actual share of global assets is.

Nevertheless, even if you fill the air time with the inevitable occasions where assets have left the U.K., (rather like filling the entirety of a 30 minute BBC program with some of the inevitable teething issues with our EU departure [generally manufactured by the seething EU in any event]), there will be occasions where the U.K. has won asset management mandates, although they are not considered as newsworthy to various editors.

I suspect the share has overall dropped a tad, as it’s a shorter route to losing them to Amsterdam etc. than winning them from further afield. Let’s see the state of play in a few years. What is true though, is that Scotland needs to arrest its route to 3rd world status - and I’m not limiting that to asset management alone.

Lloyds Bank reveals unique way to avoid contactless card fraud

The new contactless limit of £100 has been attacked as a thief's dream

By

24 September 2021 • 6:00am




Bank customers fearing the new £100 contactless card limit will leave them vulnerable to fraud will be given the option to set their own, lower limits from next month.

The new £100 cap was announced in August and will come into force on October 15. However, Lloyds Banking Group will allow its customers to set their own limits on contactless spending, after some customers demanded a lower ceiling.

Debit card holders can choose their own limit from £30 to £100 in £5 steps if they have an account with Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland. It is thought to be the first of the four largest banks to make this step.

Contactless technology allows for payments to be made with a simple tap, without any further checks such as a Pin or signature. But it also makes it easier for thieves to use the card if it is lost or stolen, especially if a victim has not yet noticed and told their bank.


Contactless technology was introduced as a simple way to make quick, small purchases like a sandwich or a round of drinks. But the initial £10 spending cap has been repeatedly increased since these cards were launched.

The limit was increased to £20 in 2012, to £30 in 2015 and then to £45 in 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

But Lloyds said its customers wanted to be able to set their own limits. Debit card holders will have first access to the sliding scale of limits, followed by credit card customers.

NatWest said its customers could switch off contactless functionality on their cards, effectively setting the limit to £0. Barclays and HSBC did not respond to a request for their plans for the technology.

Philip Robinson of Lloyds said: “When the contactless limit increases, our customers will be able to use new tools in our mobile app to switch contactless on and off and also set their own transaction limit. We’ve listened to customer feedback to introduce this option which will allow them to make the most of the £100 limit in a way that works for them.”

7:23amFTSE 100 to inch higherGood morning.The FTSE 100 is expected to inch higher this morning after yesterday's climb was cut short by the Bank of England's warning that inflation will be even higher than its 4pc forecast amid the ongoing supply chain crisis.That sent the pound soaring 0.6pc against the dollar yesterday as London's main index ran out of steam, falling to 7,078.35 points by the close of trading.Today it is set to open 0.16pc higher to hit 7,088 points after Germany and France bourses posted close to 1pc gains.Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said: "Yesterday saw another positive day for European markets, rising for the third day in a row, shrugging off early week concerns about the Chinese property market, and despite evidence that the wider economy is slowing, due to increasing supply chain constraints.  "The FTSE100 did its best to reprise its role as the perennial party pooper, sliding back from its intraday highs, to finish in negative territory, which in some part may have been down to the sharp rise in the pound, and gilt yields."Nonetheless markets in Europe, as well as the US are now back in positive territory for the week, a scenario that didn't look very likely back on Monday, when fears of an Evergrande bankruptcy had investors circling the wagons."....

UK manages £9.4 TRILLION of world's assets, up 11% - 'despite Brexit'Brexit Britain manages more European assets than France, Germany, and Switzerland COMBINED?Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2021The asset management sector in the UK dominates, with over 37% of the European marketThe latest 2021 report from the Investment Association represents yet another nail in the Project Fear coffin.?Readers will recall how the likes of George Osborne (then Chancellor), David Cameron (then PM), and almost the entire raft of commercial organisations from the CBI to the OECD predicted certain catastrophe for the UK's financial sector if Britain voted to leave the European Union.?Capital would flood out of the country, we were told, with most of the UK's banking community close on its heels. None of this has happened. Indeed the latest report from the Investment Association (IA) shows that the UK is still the second largest investment management centre in the world, after the US, and manages over a third (37%) of all assets managed in Europe.The UK's global total of assets under management has increased by 11% in the last yearIn the last year the total global assets under management in the United Kingdom have actually increased, and have done so by an astonishing 11%, according to the IA. IA members represent the majority of the UK investment management industry in asset terms (85%).Industry assets under management stood at £8.5 trillion in December 2019 and had risen to £8.6 trillion by June 2020. "This tells us that most of the growth in assets occurred over the last six months of 2020," says the Investment Association.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYUK's asset management for the world jumped 11% in 2020?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeUK manages more European investment assets than France, Germany, and Switzerland COMBINEDWhen it comes to the European picture, the United Kingdom continues to dominate. The UK is by far the largest investment management centre in Europe, accounting for 37.3% of the market according to the latest figures published by the IA. This makes it larger than France, Germany, and Switzerland COMBINED.Switzerland is not an EU member so to put this in EU terms alone, the UK's assets under management are more than the combined total of the EU's top three economies: Germany, France, and Italy.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYBrexit Britain continues to dominate management of EU assets?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeUnfortunately, the importance of Nicola Sturgeon's SNP Scotland has halved in the last 10 yearsThe majority of investment management activity takes place in the City of London, but Edinburgh was always in second place and was important.In 2020 assets managed in Scotland are put at £690 billion, equivalent to 7% of total assets. By way of comparison, the proportion of assets managed in Scotland in 2010 stood at 14%. In other words, while the rest of the UK has accelerated in its growth in this important sector of the economy, Edinburgh's importance has halved in just 10 years.Finally, what is "asset management" and is any of this your money?If you have a pension, ISA, or other investments, you should care about this.Investment Association members include banks and other large investment management firms, fund managers, occupational schemes, as well as local government pension schemes. The IA's members manage these funds and a large proportion of the public depend on their expertise.The health of this industry sector is vital to the economy and we therefore thought readers would like to know that it is most definitely thriving.... "despite Brexit".OBSERVATIONSIt has almost become routine for us to publish reports showing the United Kingdom doing well as a (partially) free, independent, and sovereign country outside the EU.One of the reasons we continue to do this is because there are still many people in positions of power and influence who continue to cling to the dogmas they espoused back in 2016, and in the subsequent years when the Establishment attempted to subvert the largest democratic decision in the history of the British people.Once again Remain's lies lie broken on the floorIf the excellent post-Brexit news we have been reporting over recent years had in fact been the opposite, readers know they would have been inundated on a daily basis in the pro-EU and anti-Brexit broadcast media and in pro-EU and anti-Brexit newspapers such as the Financial Times and Guardian. As it is, good news is barely mentioned and certainly not headlined.We feel it is important to continue researching and publishing positive news about Global Britain.

The problems with the single marketSEPTEMBER 24, 2021 POST A COMMENTThere are still those who regret our absence from the EU single market, and who wrongly confuse it with free trade.  The EU single market was instead a catch of regulations and controls which proved to be very damaging to large swathes of UK industry and business. Its Common Fishing Policy denuded our seas of fish and drove us from self sufficiency with good exports  into import dependence. The common energy policy was driving us into import dependence on interconnectors  for gas and electricity when as an independent country we could easily be self sufficient. In our first decade in the common market our car industry halved under the weight of tariff free competition from the continent, and our large nationalised steel industry with five huge integrated plants lost market share and came under pressure to start a big closure programme. Meanwhile the business services area where we were strong was not opened up to benefit us in return.There are also those who seem to think our exit from the EU was mainly  to secure free trade deals with other countries, and who  now complain that there is no immediate prospect of an individually tailored US/UK Free Trade Agreement.  The EU never had one yet our trade with the US is strong, growing and in surplus . This shows that whilst Free Trade Agreements are  nice to have and can add something, the core of trade occurs under WTO rules anyway. We trade with the USA and with the EU as most favoured nations under WTO rules. It is more likely the UK will be an early joiner of the TPP, to be followed by US membership, thereby adding a freer trade proposal to our bilateral trade with America.The main aim of leaving the EU was to restore our right to self government. I always stated that the gains would depend on how we use the freedoms, and never suggested the main point was to extend the range of free trade agreements, nice though that might be and likely though it was. The government has done a good job in negotiating trade deals so far, to the point where Mr Macron is incandescent with rage about our latest Australian agreement. The EU has got to learn now we are independent they cannot control us or reverse decisions we make with others that they do not like...John Redwood

Here, for those who don’t want to wade through the nonsense that precedes them, they are:



We will always put hard-working families and their priorities first.

If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be rewarded fairly.

People and businesses are expected to contribute to society, as well as receive.

Your chances in life should not be defined by the circumstances of your birth – hard work and how you contribute should matter.

Families, communities and the things that bring us together must once again be put above individualism.

The economy should work for citizens and communities. It is not good enough to just surrender to market forces.

The role of government is to be a partner to private enterprise, not stifle it.

The government should treat taxpayer money as if it were its own. The current levels of waste are unacceptable.

The government must play its role in restoring honesty, decency and transparency in public life.

We are proudly patriotic but we reject the divisiveness of nationalism.
