Hello


We've had a busy start to the year, with projects and plans in full flow and lots of work being done within our team to improve our service and deliver the results our clients expect. You may have already experienced some of these as we make more use of our new client portal, and we'll tell you about some of our other projects in future newsletters. 


Our first article this month is a commentary from our Investment Team Manager, John Genovese, in which he describes the current economic situation and how his team are responding. With inflation showing signs of cooling and interest rates peaking, they believe markets are poised for a potential upswing, particularly in areas sensitive to these changes. Read the post below for the full commentary.


Our second article is on a topic we feel is important. In our culture death is something we don't like to talk about, however it often leaves loved ones in a quandary, not fully knowing your wishes or preferences for end of life care or the 'right' choices after you're gone. We're very happy to facilitate family conversations about these sensitive subjects. Read our post to find out more.


We hope you enjoy this month's newsletter.
