Welcome to our October LiveWire

Financial issues - whether in relation to realising gains from existing investments or making wise future investment decisions have never been more important.

To help our clients better understand this ever changing landscape, Robert James, together with carefully selected partners, will be holding an evening seminar on investments and associated tax issues at Mercedes Benz World (Brooklands) at 5.00 p.m. on Thursday 20th November, and I would like to invite you to attend.

Key issues to be covered:

  • Review of current markets and investment issues - Invesco Perpetual
  • Recent changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) legislation and what this means for both business owners and private investors - Robert James Partnership
  • Effect of the new CGT regime on Life Assurance Bonds and Unit Trusts - FosterDenovo Independent Financial Advisers.

    The seminar will run from 5pm to 6.30pm and will be followed by a buffet supper and wine.

    I hope you are able to attend. To confirm your attendance please e-mail me and I will arrange for further details to be sent to you. Please note that places at this event are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
