The Fleet Street Letter has always thrived by staying ahead of the times — and by appointing editors suited to those times.

Founder Patrick Maitland, the 17th Earl of Lauderdale, set the tone right from the start. Writing in 1938, he warned readers plainly:

“War is coming to Europe, but not until September at the earliest.”

On 1 September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland.

That tradition of anticipating major turning points has continued ever since.

Readers in 1987 had ten weeks to prepare before Black Monday rattled global markets. In 1999, subscribers were warned months ahead of the dotcom crash. And in 2008, readers received advance notice before the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered the global financial crisis.

Today we find ourselves in another era of disruption. Markets, technology, and geopolitics are shifting quickly and understanding the bigger picture has never been more important.

Leading The Fleet Street Letter today is Nick Hubble.

Nick has spent years helping investors understand the forces shaping global markets — from financial crises to structural changes in the world economy. Known for his investigative approach and willingness to challenge conventional thinking, he focuses on identifying the trends and pressures building beneath the surface of the financial system.

Joining him is investment director Sam Volkering.

Sam brings a deep knowledge of technology and innovation to the team. Over the past decade he has built a reputation for spotting important shifts in emerging technologies — from artificial intelligence to cryptocurrencies — and explaining what they mean for investors.

Together, Nick and Sam bring a blend of big-picture analysis and forward-looking investment insight.

And as always, their goal remains the same: helping readers understand what’s coming next — and how to prepare for it before the crowd catches on.
