Thank You!
I would like to thank all of you who took the two minutes, and in some cases many, many more minutes, to send feedback regarding our services. It’s difficult to know whether the blogs are widely read or not by clients, however your comments confirm a good proportion of you find them interesting enough to give up your precious time to read. Both myself and the team were knocked-out by so many kind comments. We now have some evidence that confirms we do run a customer-first focused firm. Thank you.
I’m sorry that the last blog was a bit of a dry regulatory subject but hopefully you will find this one a little more useful. I’m going to explain what I will be monitoring over the balance of the summer months. I will start with a joke from the Edinburgh Fringe.
“Last year I had a great joke about inflation. But it’s hardly worth it now.”

Significant Interest Rate Rises
So as expected the Bank of England (BoE) followed the Federal Reserve Bank of the US (FED) hiking interest rates by a further 0.25%.
- The next announcement by the BoE will not be until after their next meeting on 21st September, approximately 7 weeks from now, so hopefully a quieter few weeks for UK markets.
- The following announcement will be on 2nd November.
- With the final announcement on 14th December.
- The FED meetings are always a couple of days before the BoE.
