Hello and welcome to our latest e-newsletter and our final edition of 2025!
It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final stretch of the year. December always seems to arrive with a mix of excitement and reflection, and this year is no exception.
There’s plenty happening in the wider world – markets are still adjusting to shifting economic trends, global events continue to make the headlines and many industries are wrapping up the year with important developments that could shape the months ahead.
In an uncertain world we continue to provide certainty with our presence for you on all things financial and beyond – and as we have been in 2025 we will continue to be with you, by your side in 2026 to help support and guide.
December isn’t just about what’s going on in finance – it’s also a time when many of us try and find a bit more balance. Between festive plans, end of year deadlines and the shorter days, it’s more important than ever to make space for wellbeing – whether that is a winter walk, a quiet moment with a hot drink or simply slowing the pace where you can.
In our final newsletter of the year we start off with the ever-present Market Commentary and, continuing to look back over the last month, we once again enclose a link to our guide on the Autumn Budget for you to view. We also share with you an article on what 2026 may bring for your financial future and we finish this newsletter outlining our thanks to you.
As Christmas approaches, there’s a welcome sense of warmth and connection in the air. It’s a chance to appreciate the people around us, celebrate the wins of the past year (big or small) and look forward to fresh beginnings and as we head into the New Year, we’re here to support you with clear guidance, steady perspective and financial advice you can rely on.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season and a happy, healthy start to the year ahead!
Kind regards

Simon Lister
Director & Independent Financial Planner
