What is the value of Financial Planning from your advisor?

27 Apr 2015/in , /by

This post is part of the SmarterInsight™ series and is written, as usual, by Tim Hale an investment expert who frequently informs our investment committee.

It is always tempting to judge the value of your adviser on the recent performance of your investment portfolio. That is unfair as it fails to understand the true value that a good adviser delivers (leaving aside the valuable financial planning advice that they also provide) and the fact that no manager can control the returns that the market delivers. Their true value lies not just in the robust structuring of a portfolio, but as a foil to avoid the truly dangerous combination of investor emotions and bad, yet often tempting, investment ideas. A good adviser can earn their ongoing fee several times over, simply by helping clients to have patience, fortitude and discipline in their investing.

Collectables: Sensible Investments or Folly?

07 Oct 2014/in , /by

As part of our SmarterInsight™ series, we look at whether it is really worth investing in collectables, and how to look at this objectively.  The trappings of wealth such as beautiful art, fine wine, classic cars and old watches may have an aesthetic value, but are they good investments? It is wise to look at them in an unemotional light, in short, the answer is that their superficial allure and headline grabbing returns fail to match a hard-nosed practical reality. Own them only if you enjoy them!

Please contact any of our team and we will talk to you about your specific situation.

Background to the 2014 Budget

A year ago, nobody – including Mr Osborne – expected the 2014 Budget to be set against such a relatively benign economic background for the UK. In March 2013 the talk was of a triple dip recession as the country had just recorded a contraction of 0.3% in the final quarter of 2012.  Read more →

In this post you will find a comment on the Autumn Statement by Loch Fyne Financial – are their better prospects ahead? We think there could be…

Yesterday Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne delivered a relatively optimistic assessment of the UK economy in his 2013 Autumn Statement.
