Welcome to the February edition of our e-newsletter – our first of the year.
We sincerely hope that you enjoyed a good festive break and trust that you are fully refreshed and revived to take on 2024, making it a year full of all you want it to be.
With the month of January seeming to last twice as long as other months we suddenly find ourselves whizzing through February, a month that reminds us that spring is on its way as the days start to get lighter, longer and hopefully dryer!
There were many events in February such as Valentines Day, the Chinese New Year, Pancake Day as well as LGBT+ History Month which celebrated LGBTQ+ people’s “contribution to the field of medicine both historically and today”.
So, given that there was so much going on compared to January, then that may go some way in explaining why the month has flown by.
Turning to March and the end of the first quarter of the year, we are eagerly anticipating the Government’s Budget, especially in a General Election year and we will of course keep you informed of any announcements that may affect your finances.
For this edition of our newsletter, we have a diverse selection of articles for you to enjoy highlighting why now is the time you should increase your pension contributions, whether you know how much you’ll need in retirement, why investors should hold their nerve ahead of a big political year through to why holidays are still a priority for most if us in 2024!
In our regular ML news feature we welcome a new addition to the ML team but as ever we start things off with our ever present market commentary.
Please enjoy this month’s edition of our e-newsletter and should anything you read prompt you to want to get in touch for any reason then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
Craig McClurg
Director & Independent Financial Planner
