For most of 2023 and 2024, there was only one place investors wanted to be – large cap technology stocks.

In aggregate, the ‘Magnificent-Seven’ - Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla – outperformed the average US stock by 93% in 2023 and by nearly 32% in the first six months of 2024.

However, since the middle of July, this trend has abruptly reversed, and these investor favourites have significantly underperformed.

In our next Pulse Webinar, Justin Oliver from Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management joins us to examine the prospects for them moving forward. Will their outperformance resume and what other areas might investors wish to focus on for the remainder of 2024 and into next year?

In our latest Pulse Webinar, John Clare and Mike Foxall of independent specialists QB Partners join us and delve into the recent changes to UK pension allowances, focusing on the new Lump Sum Allowance (LSA), Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance (LSDBA), and related Transitional Tax-Free Amount Certificates.

The removal of the Lifetime Allowance

The UK’s pension Lifetime Allowance (LTA) has now been removed, but new allowances have been introduced to restrict lump sum benefits and overseas transfer amount, most specifically, the Lump Sum Allowance (LSA), and the Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance (LSDBA).

Tax-Free Amount Certificate

Additionally, in some cases where benefits have been crystallised before 6th April 2024, a Transitional Tax-Free Amount Certificate (TTFAC) will be available to increase the LSA and/or LSDBA. This is applicable in circumstances such as when a UK pension member has a Defined Benefit Pension in payment with Tax-Free Cash below 25% of the Lifetime Allowance used, or when UK pension benefits have been transferred to QROPS.

This is an informative session that will equip you with the knowledge to navigate these new pension allowances and understand the intricacies of the TTFAC.

It's been a difficult few years marked by many challenges - Brexit, Covid-19, soaring inflation, and geopolitical tensions which have all cast a shadow of negativity and hesitancy among many investors.

But as we progress through 2024, and with the prospect of falling interest rates, there are plenty of reasons for investors to re-engage.

Rather than a routine evaluation of unknown possible outcomes, and deliberation over an often-gloomy financial landscape, Chris Saunders, Co-Founder of New Horizon Asset Management provides an uplifting focus on the many reasons for positivity, including:

• How to sidestep the pitfalls of negativity and embrace a forward-thinking approach when speaking to your clients.
• Key areas primed for growth if focus shifts from a handful of fully-valued US stocks to instead permeate a broad range of regions and asset classes where valuations are at multi-year lows.
• How to communicate the benefits of investing for the long term and the truth of the old adage that it is time in the market rather than timing the market that is key.
