M&G's Bond Vigilantes Offering A Free Ticket To Camp Alphaville

Sorry, that should read FT Festival of Finance (force of habit).
M&G is one of the Festival of Finance partners.

From Bond Vigilantes:
This year is the 10th anniversary of the Bond Vigilantes blog.  When we started it back in 2006, rates in the UK had just risen to 4.75%, the US housing market had seen price rises of between 5% and 12% for more than 6 years in a row, and Twitter was a just few months old.   Nottingham Forest finished 4th in the Championship, and the Scissor Sisters were number one in the charts with “I Don’t feel Like Dancin’”.  As part of what will be a lengthy birthday celebration, potentially stretching into 2017, Bond Vigilantes is delighted to be Festival Partner at the FT’s Festival of Finance.

We’ve been attending this brilliant event for the past couple of years (when it was called Camp Alphaville), and therefore can wholeheartedly recommend that you come along too.  Set in the grounds of the HAC in the City, it’s your chance to watch and take part in scores of discussions on topics such as the end of free internet, tax inversion, football finance, the cashless society, and capital controls.  Guest speakers include Peter Praet (ECB), Andy Haldane (BoE) and our very own Richard Woolnough.  The agenda is here.

A few of the M&G bond team will be there, so come to the coffee stand for a chat.  All proceeds from coffee sales over the day will go to Alzheimer’s Research UK....
