Starter Packs
Created by Toby Nangle (3)
Pensions (what fun!)
At $56tn, pension assets are huge. Their behaviours are important, and the demographic transition will challenge governments and societies everywhere. But they have a boring name. Will share this when it has grown sufficiently to be of use.
Old London(ish) FinTwit II
Starter Packs can have up to 150 names. There are many more than 150 old FinTwit people, so this is my second starter pack - a supplement for folks who can't get enough old FinTwit here.
Old London(ish) FinTwit
Starter pack for folks joining because of the promise that Bluesky was a bit like 2011-era Londonish FinTwit. OK - so I'm not saying that these folks were all tweeting in 2011, but they'd have fitted right in.
