Welcome to the October edition of our e-newsletter which we hope finds you well!
As the leaves are truly turning red and brown then it’s a sure sign we are now firmly in the last quarter of the year but there is no slowdown in the financial world with some major events on the horizon – the UK budget and the US election to name but two of the biggest – with both likely to have an effect on domestic and global finances.
Whilst there is always a sense of doom and gloom around these events and how they can affect us, there are always opportunities that present themselves and we are sure that it will be no different this time around. At ML, we will be studying the detail of these events to remain on the front foot and ready to act to put our clients in the best possible position as we continue to work with you to achieve your financial objectives.
So, with the budget, the US election and Halloween still to come we are aware that this can be a ‘scary’ time for some of our clients given the uncertainty that surrounds some of these events, so I just want to take this opportunity to reassure you that we have evaluated a number of different scenarios and outcomes (for the budget and US election not Halloween) and believe we are well equipped to deal with the most likely outcomes, having a variety of plans and strategies we can turn to when we know the full detail.
Significant events aside, in our latest edition of the newsletter, we start with the ever present market commentary which is followed by a budget preview. We follow that with news on how the triple lock will once again benefit pensioners and we share news of a new addition to the team in the ever popular ML News section. Finally, we share our thoughts on whether interest rate cuts are always good news.
We hope that you enjoy reading all of our articles this month and, as always, should any of our articles or forthcoming events prompt any questions or indeed if there is anything that you feel we can help you with then please do not hesitate to get in contact.
Kind regards

Director & Independent Financial Planner
