Global Stockmarkets
Unless you have lived in a cave for the last week or so, you will have noticed the significant downward pressure on Global stock markets. Some of this is logical (concerns over US and Greece’s debt for example) and some far less logical (the level of the falls). Although it doesn’t appear that we are out of the tunnel yet – it does look like there is now some positive signs.
Therefore if you are concerned about your own portfolio or think now is an ideal time for a review, please contact your consultant directly or call us on 01932 340710.
New Staff
We are pleased to announce the following staff changes: -
Damon George has joined to indirectly replace Christine, who has now gone on maturity leave.
Fiona Mackenzie replaces Ed Milner in working with Capital Management Solutions. We wish Ed all the best as he now embarks on the road to become a Teacher!
Peter Ronald joins us on the Consultant side and we look forward to working with him.
Elsewhere, we have promoted Matt Phillips to a Trainee Adviser, as he has now successfully completed his initial exams. Matt will therefore be working more closely with Julian and Stuart, to learn the required attributes and skills to become a successful Adviser.
We wish all the above, the best in their new roles.
The Tax System Explained in Beer
Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this..
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay £1.
The sixth would pay £3.
The seventh would pay £7.
The eighth would pay £12.
The ninth would pay £18.
And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.
