Market and economic update

Markets, inflation, interest rates and global events continue to dominate headlines, but what do they actually mean for investors and the wider economy?

Marcus Pilkington from Pareto Financial Planning and Alex Brandreth from Luna Investment Management delivered a market and economic update. They discussed:

  • Rising interest and mortgage rates and what this could mean for clients and the wider markets
  • The potential for wage inflation and its wider economic implications
  • Developments in the Strait of Hormuz and the possible impact on inflation and investment markets

Pareto Financial Planning and Luna Investment Management advise private clients and their professional advisers on personal investment strategies, pensions, wealth protection and provide bespoke portfolio management.

EOTs: navigating the next exit

They covered:

  • The onward sale of an EOT-owned company – what’s possible?
  • Issues that might arise from a practical perspective
  • Tax considerations and risks
  • PE fund buyer appetite
  • What’s currently happening in the market?
