June 2024 Newsletter

I’m sure we all hope that the excessive rain we had in June doesn’t carry through to the summer months and that we can begin to enjoy sunnier and brighter days ahead.

The start of summer may have been a bit of a washout but June was still a busy month with the start of the Football European Championships in Germany, Glastonbury for all you music lovers and continued UK Election coverage for us all to digest. June also saw Father’s Day!

Amid ongoing economic discussions, global uncertainties and of course the UK General Election, it is essential to take a step back and prioritise your well-being in July. Whether it’s enjoying a sunny day, planning a relaxing picnic or taking a holiday, make sure to find some time to unwind and recharge.

To that end, for this June edition of our e-newsletter we have prepared an eclectic mix of articles for you to enjoy this month starting with the ever present market commentary. We then cover topics such as retirement, LPA’s, the upside of going cashless and in our final article we pick out the top holiday destinations for 2024!

As ever, we hope that you enjoy this months edition and find the articles below interesting. If what you read prompts any questions or if there is anything that you feel we can help you with then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Director & Independent Financial Planner
