The Value of Advice | Part 1- Do I need an adviser?
In the first in our series of videos on the value of financial advice, we'll ask the key question - Do I need an adviser?
Let me say that we are really pleased with your approach and advice. We particularly enjoy your "finance is just part of your life" philosophy, as I know that what you offer and what we buy are different.
We are buying reassurance, big time (because finance is part of our lives and we only have one life).
You offer your expertise, organisation, attention to detail, interpersonal skills and methodology. You are giving us reassurance, so thank you!

Weathering Brexit Uncertainty (or “If it ain’t broke…”)
There is always a temptation to fiddle around with a portfolio’s structure to try to position it ready for potential short-term global events, such as Brexit. Investors would do well to remind themselves that the core tenets of good investing hold true through all market conditions. It is also worth remembering that the efficacy of a portfolio’s strategy should be judged not on the post-event outcome, but in terms of the quality, validity and prudence of its construction discipline in the face of future market uncertainty. Portfolios are well-structured around inalienable investment truths, particularly the value of deep diversification.

Quarterly Investment Report – June 2019
Welcome to our quarterly returns bulletin for the end of June. First of all, we feel we should apologise for being a little tardy with this one. Our excuse is that we have all been away on our holidays and when not doing that, busy serving our lovely clients! This month, we’re going to turn our attention to the benefits of doing nothing.

How long is long term?
For many investors – particularly those in retirement - the question ‘how long is long-term?’ could also be translated as ‘I’m getting on a bit, so should I still be investing in the stock market?’. When is comes to systematic investing – that is to say, capturing specific market risks in a disciplined and rules based manner – a subsidiary question might also be ‘should I still own value and small cap stocks, as their excess returns, relative to the market, can take some time to come through?’.
