Christmas greetings and market movements

Good afternoon - a Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year! Ahead of us we have our traditional Christmas Eve lunch before closing-down for the break. It was my Father’s birthday too and he used to be treated in exchange for doing our annual PAT... I hope that you have a lovely break and that...

A pre-Christmas snapshot of the economy and markets

Well, whilst I anticipate another eshot just before the festivities, it seems apt to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas season, celebrations and relaxing times. The new government will be looking forward to some rest and apt navel gazing over the break. I am sure we shall all be wondering what might ensue from Syria...

Encouraging end to a volatile 2023

‘Santa Rally’ on investments points to a more positive Christmas

There is hope an early ‘Santa Rally’ for the markets and investments will continue as we roll on towards Christmas. This has been covered in our recent ‘eshot’ to clients and interested parties (if you’d like to sign up, please do get in touch) but we thought it wouldn’t hurt to cover a little in...

Will ‘Santa Rally’ see us to Christmas?

Happy Christmas and on to the next chapter

Well, I think that all which remains is to wish all our supportive readers a very Happy Christmas and dare I suggest a prosperous 2023. It’s certainly not been an easy 2022 and the Ukraine War is still over-shadowing so much and causing such grief but we must pity the poor Ukrainians and indeed...

Risk Warning

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some areas mentioned on our web site including: Business Buy to Let Mortgages, Taxation & Accountancy, Probate Administration and Will Writing.

 

Stockmarket investments can offer income through the payment of dividends and interest and good opportunities for capital appreciation over the longer term. By this, generally we mean periods in excess of five years, preferably much longer. However, we can never promise you particular returns, especially in the short-term. At any point in time but especially in the short term, your capital could be worth less than the original amount invested as some of the selected holdings may fall in value, regardless of expectations at the time of acquisition. We may also invest in funds that hold overseas securities. The value of these investments may increase or decrease as a result of changes in currency exchange rates. Returns achieved in the past cannot be relied upon to be repeated.
