Time for a financial review?

Why the coronavirus crisis makes an immediate financial review essential – and how at Continuum we can provide it.

It is difficult to remember, but at the beginning of March, life was going on as normal, it was business as usual, and coronavirus just a worrying item from the other side of the globe. Now, at the beginning of April, the world has shut down, many of us are under self-imposed ‘lockdown’ and a trip to the shops, the pub or our favourite restaurant is just a fond memory.

We all hope that things can start to return to normal in the near future – but it’s time to start looking at what those effects will be on our financial plans.

In fact, with a new tax year here, it is time for a full financial review.

The first step to planning for your future is to fully understand your current position. You can start by speaking to one of our experts today.

How can you get your finances back on track?

We all need to be aware that we could be looking at a very different world. There will be high levels of debt, interest rates will probably remain low to stimulate the economy – affecting returns on savings and markets might take time to fully recover.

But there are some real positives. Currently depressed markets could start to recover surprisingly quickly when the world goes back to work and might provide exciting opportunities. Some sectors, such as delivery and logistics businesses could thrive.  Creating wealth and reaching your financial goals will still be very possible, especially if you can call on expert help.

The important thing is to take a clear look at your financial objectives and see how you can reach them under the new conditions.

You may have to put back the timings for your goals, if your portfolio has suffered too much. You may need to commit a little more of your available funds to wealth creation – but with a clear plan in place the future could start looking bright again.

With a new tax year, there are new possibilities for savings, investment and wealth creation. You need to be able to make full use of them.

We still believe in individual service, and personal attention from an adviser – but now we can use our video conferencing facility and our secure client portal to deliver it. We may not be able to meet face to face just yet – but we can continue to provide the level of support you need.
