Please find below our Investment Market Update as at 12th May 2023.
New feature for these Weekly Updates
There are always many moving parts contributing to the outlook for investment markets and economies and,as a result, there is always lots to comment on. We will continue to keep you abreast of the shifting dynamics each week, but once a month we have decided to add a new feature.
In recent times we have seen an unprecedented level of political and financial change in the UK and with further changes expected, it’s important to keep ahead of any potential implications. We will shine a light on specific financial planning tips and where appropriate, share specific case studies to reinforce the points made. All of our Financial Planners here at Blue Sky will contribute to these updates. The thinking is that we will also highlight tax allowances, whilst providing thoughts and tips around the actions that could be considered to ensure greater tax efficiency.
We have also decided to start off each communication with a bullet point overview of the content.
We hope you enjoy this slight step change to our communications, but please remember, nothing here is to be interpreted as personal advice. If you would like support for your own personal circumstances, please get in touch.
