Technological advances have commoditised information – too much, rather than too little, is now available. The key is to identify and interpret the right information and translate that knowledge to activity in line with your agreed strategy.

Real economic data and surveys combine to provide the financial markets with further food for thought in the delivery of what they are there to do: simply determine the price of a chosen asset.

At Arlingclose we draw on our experience but also utilise the best information providers and then disseminate information in an understandable form. It is our job to provide information and not just data. We will keep you abreast of news and economic data which influence the behaviour of the financial markets and affect your adopted strategy, freeing up your valuable time and resources accordingly.

We not only report what has happened, but what we think will happen – this is because opportunities to exploit money markets come from pre-empting or rapidly reacting to news and data releases and these views are the bedrock of any adopted strategy. If the data is telling a compelling and contradictory story to the adopted strategy then the message is that the strategy needs to change. Arlingclose is both prudent and pragmatic.

But we also go further.

Arlingclose seek to give comprehensive weekly valuations of your long term investment portfolio and provide an update of premia and discounts on debt portfolios where appropriate. We also track credit rating changes on a real time basis, and highlight new or alternative investment opportunities that are appropriate to your authority's particular circumstances.

With so much information now at our finger-tips we see our role as a filter - with Arlingclose less is indeed more.
