The Stock Market - Navigating Those Choppy Waters

The world of stocks and shares is a complex and precarious business. With volatility in the markets likely to increase thanks to a combination of the still unknown impact of Brexit that has caused a weakness in the value of sterling and the unpredictability of world events, investing capital in the stock market should be approached with care.

To help you take the best approach, we at wealth managers Blackett Walker have the experience to guide you through the bewildering array of options. We have managed tens of millions of pounds over decades and we have a loyal and long standing private client base. On the face of it every investor is looking for a healthy return on their investment with minimal risk – simple.

However every investor is different. We all have different levels of tolerance for risk, different objectives and requirements and different degrees of wealth. Combine this with a myriad of funds managed by different types of fund managers in an ever changing economic environment and what you are left with is a bewildering range of options.

That is why we take the time and trouble to research everything thoroughly. We are fully conversant with technical vehicles, like pound-cost-averaging, A strategy, which, in the right circumstances, does not overly expose your capital as it invests a certain amount over time rather than all at once. The result is that the investor can buy more shares when prices become cheaper but fewer when they are more expensive and this strategy can help to mitigate potential losses to the overall capital stake.

Perhaps you could take advantage of a tracker fund – a fund that is linked to the shares of a number of companies within, for example, the FTSE 100 Index or we could suggest you invest in a portfolio of investments based on the analysis of a number of actively managed funds by fund managers with differing but complementary characteristics. We currently advise on over £220M of assets – we are an independent wealth management company with its roots firmly in the North East but with its eyes firmly fixed on global capital markets on behalf of our many private clients.Rest assured the success of your investments is a key priority to our continued reputation as acknowledged experts in wealth management.
