Drawing upon his thirty-five years of experience, within the various financial sectors, Ian Morley successfully exposes the falsehoods and arrogances of the world of financial business and fund management. Tackling questions like, “Do you know why transparency is a bit like virginity?” Morley provides insightful home truths with humour, honesty and a heavy dose of all-too-uncommon common sense.

Capitalising on an intriguing economic climate, Ian Morley holds up a mirror to the business of fund management dispensing 50 insightful laws each supported by a humorous cartoon, by a former Private Eye illustrator. Striking a perfect balance between the profound and tongue in cheek Morley tackles subjects from pension funds to the law of leverage successfully rounding up and cutting through the pomposity of these financial sectors. Taken independently or as a cohesive collection Morley’s Laws offers up the perfect opportunity for both financial industry professionals and those with a keen curiosity, to learn a new side to the industry and be entertained at the same time.
