In our Summer 2020 newsletter we cover a range of investment topics to keep you informed.
Please find below a copy of our latest client newsletter.
As usual, we have sought to address topical issues that are likely to be of interest to most readers. Included in this edition are:
Keep your retirement plans on track – Don’t let the pandemic derail your retirement plans. Keep calm, take a long-term approach and avoid making any hasty decisions
Reassurance for savers – The Financial Services Compensation Scheme provides an extra level of reassurance for savers
Spreading risk has always made sense – Throughout history, we can find examples of investors who lost out because they put all their eggs in one basket
Estate planning – protecting your family’s financial future – Good estate planning involves balancing your current needs with your desire to protect your loved ones’ financial future
Focus on the horizon – Investors who don’t panic and stay the course have seen rewards over the long term
Global economy braced – As well as the tragic human cost of the pandemic, the worldwide response has had a huge impact on the global economy
Fraud goes viral – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is – UK fraud prevention groups are warning people to be extra vigilant following a massive increase in scams
Pension withdrawals – consider your options – In Q1 2020, savers withdrew almost £2.5bn from their pensions – a 19% increase on Q1 2019
The true value of advice – You need quality advice, now more than ever, we’re always here to support you.
As the UK continues to edge out of lockdown, our offices are open and have been open throughout, ensuring that we can continue to provide the best service to you. Up to 3 people can meet their Adviser in our Boardroom – socially distanced.
As well as enhancing the office cleaning and ensuring access to hand gel in all of our offices, we will be asking all visitors to proceed directly to our meeting room where they will be joined by the relevant member of the Investment Solutions team.
We also continue to offer telephone and Zoom meetings and we expect that this will continue to be the best solution for most people, but of course we can discuss all of the options with you.
As always, should you have any queries or require more information on any of the articles or any other financial matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
