UK tax boost and healthy investments

So we’re told the Chancellor had £31billion more in tax receipts in January than he expected. So much for forecasts… who’d like to forecast how many forecasters predicted that? It may be very controversial to say so, but Liz Truss and Kwazi Kwarteng were the closest but that’s another story (and their problem was...

Spring investments

Spring is in the air! It’s really lovely to see the days drawing-out and some sunshine back. Snowdrops have been lovely this year and the daffodils and other bulbs will be out soon. It’s a year now since Russia invaded Ukraine and we can but hope and pray that something resolves soon over that...

Careful investment and risk

How awful the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria is. Our prayers and hopefully support go out to those devastated communities not only facing what they have lost but also at a bitterly cold part of the year and for Syria, already reeling from the Civil War there and not recovered. So...

New Year rally

Well, welcome to the highest ever levels for the FTSE100, what a pleasant ‘Father Christmas’ (well New Year) rally. The thing is, our market isn’t dear so the levels are nothing about which to be worried either. The same week also saw not the Bank of England Governor’s wish (he said wrongly in public...

Good day! Isn’t it nice to see the days draw-out already! Despite rain and the storms, spring and summer are coming!In the 3 Jan Financial Times the headline read ‘Wealth Industry battles one of the worst years for a century’. How did we fare? It noted a ‘double-digit drop in stocks and bonds’...

New Year reflections: Looking ahead and a tip

Well, a Happy New Year to you and let us trust a more prosperous one too! I hope that you have had a good and comfortable Christmas time. It wasn’t so cold though the rain seems to have arrived with a vengeance now. We've been very fortunate compared to those in North America. It...

Will there be a New Year bounce?

This really is a Happy Christmas and a very prosperous New Year! I promise this is my last epistle till 2023.Are we going to enjoy the traditional Christmas and New Year bounce? It’s not encouraging and the portents aren’t favourable but some year-end rebalancing may just give us some good news. Otherwise,...

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...

A snapshot of what we do as wealth managers

Let’s start with some good news. The price of wheat is back to where it was before Russia invaded Ukraine. I bet you haven’t read that anywhere. It really is quite amazing however, now almost down half on its March high. At this rate we’ll be thinking of buying-in again as we sold ours...

What does the Autumn Statement mean?

The markets have been steady following the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, which came as no great surprise in its bid to tighten belts and curb public debt. The Pound did see a slight dip but has remained firm otherwise and that was more to do with what the Dollar was doing than the Pound itself. The budget...
