<br /> Wealth Management, Business and Culture: Sharp and to the Point<br /> Issue 27<br /> £25<br /> <br /> LEADERS<br /> A FIVE-RING CIRCUS<br /> This is not a column for killjoys: Spear's welcomes the<br /> Olympics to town, complete with its eminently eBay-<br /> able torch, re-enlisted drugs cheats, zealous copyright<br /> lawyers and caravan of dignitaries grown large on corporate<br /> sponsorship who get to zip around London on specially<br /> reserved roads. Look upon us, ye Blighty, and despair.<br /> Perhaps we're not entirely welcoming, then. Our<br /> Discriminator, Alessandro Tomé, sums up the illogic of<br /> London bidding for the event very well on page 32: `Why<br /> else would a city like London ever want to stage the<br /> Olympics? Is it because it felt bad about the Elgin Marbles?<br /> Did London really need the publicity, did it feel it was<br /> perceived as a backwater location in need of a spruce-up?'<b<a title="Spears Issue 27 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=1"> Wealth Management, Business and Culture: Sharp an</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 2" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=2"> </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 3" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=3"> LEADERS A FIVE-RING CIR</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 4" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=4"> AGEING DISGRACEFULLY W e</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 5" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=5"> Schroders has been innovating for over 200 years.</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 6" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=6"> The art of creating value CaixaBank is one of th</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 7" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=7"> Original work created by the artist Joan Miró for</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 8" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=8"> </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 9" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=9"> </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 10" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=10"> 52 OI</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 11" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=11"> A world of ideas at Sarasin & Partners Lea</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 12" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=12"> EAST IS EDEN It’s not all weird haircuts and skin</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 13" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=13"> D-Brilliant Cuts™ invented by master Polisher Hed</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 14" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=14"> subscriptions@spearswms.com Andrei Navroz</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 15" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=15"> A subsidiary of HSBC Private Bank HSBC </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 16" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=16"> FROM WILLIAM CASH Acontroversial thing to say in</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 17" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=17"> </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 18" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=18"> editor’S Letter FACTS FROM </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 19" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=19"> CLASSIC WITH A TWIST At Tristan Capital, we hav</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 20" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=20"> diary LORD MOYNIHAN M y diary for the</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 21" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=21"> VERITAS ASSET MANAGEMENT We are an independent i</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 22" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=22"> CAMERA LUCIDA To the Soho Hotel for a preview s</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 23" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=23"> Kirsty Lang @bbckirstylang Went to see musical ad</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 24" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=24"> Like us at facebook.com/spearsmagazine in the</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 25" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=25"> </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 26" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=26"> S most read 1) Next gen</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 27" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=27"> MESUREETDÉMESURE* TONDA HEMISPHERES Rose gold Aut</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 28" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=28"> Shot before d 1 awn 2 3 4 8 9 </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 29" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=29"> 14 159 10 14 16 17 22 14 23 </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 30" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=30"> Actress and campaigner Georgina Rylance began the</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 31" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=31"> Nominees, Winners and What the Judges Said PRO</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 32" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=32"> SHOT BEFORE DAW</a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 33" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=33"> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Take A </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 34" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=34"> THE DISCRIMINATOR SURELY SOME MISTAKE It makes </a> <a title="Spears Issue 27 page 35" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/53bf88e9?page=35"> crumbling ruins.
