The Ruffer Review

Our annual publication, sharing some investment thinking
A market miscellany
China’s investment in higher education and STEM subjects has caused patent applications to skyrocket. It’s all part of Beijing’s plan to overtake the West in innovation.
The Ruffer Review 2025
The Ruffer Review 2025 offers evaluations of current market and economic conditions, assessments of possible futures and some pertinent lessons from history.
The anti-singularity machine
Optimism about superintelligence is fuelling market behaviour which looks far from intelligent, driving valuations far from the fundamentals. When the correction comes, we expect significant market fallout – and opportunities.
A Thousand Year Project
Merlin Hanbury-Tenison is on a mission to restore Britain's temperate rainforests, for the health of mankind and the planet.
The poetical science of programming
Ada Lovelace was the Countess who counted – a visionary computing pioneer who transcended the gender norms of the Victorian era.
Europe’s power predicament
Caught between US protectionism and Chinese mercantilism and now bereft of cheap Russian energy, the EU faces an existential question: how to secure its strategic autonomy and future competitiveness.
Lessons of a contrarian
Our Chairman reflects on his six decades of investing and shares some of the main lessons he’s learnt.
Back to the future (but which one?)
Whilst the impact of AI is likely to be deflationary in the very long term, existing economic imbalances and political realities suggest we will first suffer an era of higher inflation and volatility.
Alpha@Omega
We are living through revolutions in geopolitics and economics (think tech). To exploit the resulting opportunities, a further revolution will be needed: in portfolio management. It’s all to play for.
The spectres of protectionism
Economists use the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act as a case study for protectionism’s adverse impacts. Yet the geopolitical consequences were far more profound, damaging America’s allies and provoking its enemies.
