Leaving a legacy

We were delighted to facilitate this special event hosted by His Excellency Lieutenant General Sir John Lorimer and Lady Lorimer.

The Isle of Man has a long history of philanthropy. A good example is the activities of Sir William Hillary, who, as an Isle of Man resident founded the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in 1824. As part of this venture, he appealed to other philanthropists to join him. At the age of 60, in 1830 Sir William Hillary took part in the rescue of the crew of the packet St George, which had foundered on the rocks at the entrance to Douglas harbour. This prompted Sir William to set up a scheme to build the Tower of Refuge, which we still see standing today.

This noble philanthropic activity saved lives and created a legacy for generations to come. This example of what good can be done when we commit ourselves to have a positive impact on the world around us is inspirational, if not slightly overwhelming!

It is in the spirit of facilitating learning, education, discussion and debate that we were pleased to support this event, with our partners at Philanthropy Impact.

Our panel discussed issues surrounding philanthropy, impact investing and how the Isle of Man, though small, is positioned to impact the world way beyond its borders.

Investments can go down, as well as up, to the extent that you might get back less than the total you originally invested. Exchange rates also impact the value of your investments. Past performance is no guide to future returns. Any individual investment or security mentioned may be included in clients’
portfolios. They are referred to for information only and are not intended as a recommendation, not least as they may not be suitable. You should always seek professional advice before making any investment decisions.

When is enough enough?

Society encourages us to endlessly strive for ‘more’ – whether that’s money, recognition or to be seen as successful. Some people, however, understand that achieving ‘enough’ may result in a happier life. Huw Williams explains the thinking.

What could a new world order mean for investors?

22 Apr

While the G7 nations have traditionally led global economic growth, there have lately been efforts by the largest developing nations – particularly China and Russia – to seek to overturn that for a ‘new world order’. James Robertson sets out what this might mean for investors.

The oil saga continues

The swings in oil prices – despite pulling back from recent highs not seen since 2008 – speak to some of the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war. But without a peace treaty in sight, the story of what’s happening with oil (and other commodities) is far from over, as James Robertson explains.
