Successful Autumn Rural Seminars

Greaves West & Ayre recently held two successful and well-attended Port Budget Rural Seminars.

Autumn Seminar, Berwick

The first seminar was at Berwick Rugby Club on the 25 November 2024 with a second at the Maitlandfield Hotel in Haddington on the 10 December 2024. Over the two events, we hosted some 250+ clients.

Following what has been one of the most significant Budgets of recent times our clients heard from Partner Billy Cleland who covered changes to Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Furnished Holiday Lets and Employers’ National Insurance Contributions along with changes to the treatment of Double Cab Pick-ups. Neil Robertson, Chartered Financial Planner from our Wealth Team then looked at what the Budget announcement meant for Pensions.

With much of the finer detail still uncertain, until draft legislation and guidance becomes available, we will continue to review the information from the Government and HMRC. Further seminars or similar events will be considered in 2025 once we work through the detail.

In the meantime, if you would like to discuss how the changes announced may affect you or your business please speak to your Partner.

Electronic copies of the Rural Seminar presentations are available for GWA clients – please contact us to request these.

Global Market Commentary – New Year’s Review

We are at a point in time where US stocks are dominating all others, in terms of both their outright size and the strength of their returns. In 2024, the MSCI USA index gained 24.6%, almost double the 12.4% return achieved by the rest of the world (MSCI World ex-USA). However, 2025 does bring a mixed outlook for unemployment and inflation, in the US and elsewhere, therefore it will be interesting to see if investment returns can remain so strong in the coming year.
