No advice, and no client relationship

Nothing in these publications constitutes investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice or any other professional advice, and nothing is a personal recommendation. What you are reading is analysis, opinion and argument, published so that you can disagree with it.

Reading this site, subscribing to it or corresponding with the author does not create an adviser–client, fiduciary or professional relationship. You remain solely responsible for your own investment decisions.

Not authorised or regulated

Beyond Institutional Thinking is a trading name of James Male. Neither the publication nor its author is authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Seek independent regulated financial advice, from someone who knows your circumstances, before making any investment decision.

Risk

All investment involves risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. Markets are uncertain and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. References to historical performance, market events or strategies are illustrative, not predictive.

The author’s own positions

The author may hold positions in securities mentioned in these publications, and those positions may change without notice. The author does not routinely disclose individual holdings.

How the work is produced

Figures come from primary sources, which are named under Where to check in each piece. AI assists with retrieval and figure checking. The argument, the judgement and the errors are the author’s.

Scenarios, probabilities and valuations presented in these publications are the author’s judgement, not company guidance and not forecasts.

No guarantee of results

No representation or warranty is made about the future performance of any security, strategy or method discussed. Your circumstances, market conditions and future events may produce outcomes materially different from anything described here.

Reliance

Any reliance you place on this material is entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Beyond Institutional Thinking is not liable for losses, damages, costs or expenses arising from the use of, or reliance upon, anything published here.
