Moneywise – Spring 2012
Article posted: 7th March 2012

As the economy continues to be as unpredictable as the recent weather patterns, it may seem difficult to know where to start when it comes to ensuring that your finances can see you through.

In this issue of our newsletter we cover a range of topics that you may want to consider when it comes to your own financial plans.

The tax year-end approaches

With 21 March – Budget Day – just around the corner, a little time invested in tax planning now could stand you in good stead later. This seems particularly likely given that the Chancellor will be under pressure to fatten the public purse.

The pensions revolution continues

Although pensions are much in the news of late, the sheer number of reforms to pensions can make keeping track of those that apply to you an overwhelming task. We outline the major changes coming into effect this April.

Investing for growth

Gross domestic product figures may give an overview of a country’s economy, but they can also obscure the worthwhile business prospects and opportunities on offer.

Autumn Statement surprises

The Chancellor’s Autumn Statement may seem like a while ago now, but it’s worth revisiting now because of what it may foreshadow in the Spring Budget. And did you manage to catch all the announcements relevant to you?

You don’t need to own a skyscraper to have a stake in commercial property. We take a look at the UK’s commercial property market.
