A look back at the best stories published across all the Waters brands.

Extra! Extra! The July issue of Waters magazine is live online! Our reporters look at APIs, UX, KYC and (ruining our acronyms theme) fintech startups and reconciliations. And our editor-in-chief Victor Anderson profiles Newton Investment Management's Paula Walter.
This week on the Waters Wavelength Podcast, Dan and Anthony discuss their features and then move on to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and the crazy week they've had, and finish on the crazy spending going on in NBA free agency.
