The Trump victory has left educated people around the world dumbfounded and markets have swooned. Brexit shook the world and this result has confounded the pundits. A lot will be written today about the implications of this result and I’ve produced my own paper that aims to explain how this result was possible.

For advisers whose clients find the election result incomprehensible, I hope what I’ve presented helps to provide a framework for explaining it.
