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.

The week of 26 April saw markets start off relatively strongly on the back of positive news on exit strategies and potential treatments. However, by Friday, the tide had turned due to weak corporate and economic data filtering through, while Trump sought to re-escalate tensions with China.
The week of 20 April again saw mixed market sentiment. The negative news focused on plummeting oil prices, disappointing trial COVID-19 treatment results, US travel restrictions, poor corporate earnings and weak economic data. The positive stories centred on further talk of exit strategies and a general slowdown in global case numbers.
David McFadzean was joined by Andrew Yeadon to talk through the main Q1 2020 news driving markets, portfolio positions and what we expect may take place in Q2 2020 and beyond.
The week of 14 April saw mixed market sentiment as the impact of the COVID-19 weighed on corporate earnings results and economic data releases, while further talk of exit strategies and progress on a possible treatment provided some relief.
Last week – the week of 6 April – saw positive market sentiment and markets rise in value with the narrative focused on the slowing rates of growth in the number of new COVID-19 cases in parts of Europe and the US, enabling attention to shift to possible exit strategies from the lockdown and economic activity being kick-started. Unfortunately, we believe markets are being overly optimistic. Economies will struggle to reopen fully anytime soon given the need for increased hospital capacity, widespread testing, improved patient treatment, and, ultimately, the delivery of a vaccine.
Financial markets have always been prone to react quickly, sometimes intensely, to news flows as they try to price in potential disruption to or support for economic activity.
With the coronoavirus pandemic, the focus for many people is on the short term. Retirement planning is still important, but why is now actually a good time to think things through?
The week starting 23 March saw governments and central banks around the world continue to take further steps to counteract some of the impact of the economic shutdown stemming from coronavirus.
During our 19 March webinar, David McFadzean, our head of investments, discussed recent events linked to the coronavirus pandemic with Simon Watts, our senior investment analyst. Due to the number of questions asked during the webinar, we have put together this Q&A, grouping questions together where possible, and using the information available at the time.
2019 marked the 25th anniversary of the opening of Nedbank Private Wealth’s Jersey office. Your memories of 1994, if any, are likely to depend on your interests or predilections at the time or since.
Investment performance is sometimes reported before fees and charges are taken into account and sometimes after everything has been paid, i.e. net of fees.
We publish our total expense ratio to flag to investors exactly what they pay when investing in our portfolios. However, we include costs that others don’t always include.
We operate in a really competitive industry. It’s one of the reasons why some people find it difficult to choose an investment manager – there’s such a huge choice! We believe there are five key points you need to consider when making your selection.
Unlike tossing a coin, portfolio management is not a game of chance and the risks are not usually 50/50. There is a huge range of potential investments to choose from and a professional wealth manager should be able to demonstrate consistent results over a long period with a greater success rate than 50%.
The news flow on the COVID-19 coronavirus took a more negative tone over the weekend of 22/23 February, and we have started this week with a sizeable risk-off move.
The week starting 9 March saw markets opening in disarray, with investors reacting negatively to news that the OPEC+ talks had broken down and the Saudis had sparked an oil price war with Russia over its refusal to cut production. That led to a 30% fall in the price of oil. The biggest impact will be in the energy sector, but it was also taken badly by the broader market.
