Welcome to our August Newsletter

It is quite unusual that world markets are holding strong with all the Middle East conflict that ensues currently, higher unemployment and an Argentinian bank default. We have had a little glitch in the past few weeks but the market continues to move forward and residential property also continues to perform well. Can it all continue?

As we usually address equity markets, this month we will focus on residential property. Most if not all clients have some expoure to the residential market through their own home or investments so here we provide an update on whats ahead. 

Technology is here to help us but are we taking advantage of it? We are using it more and more in our business life. This month we look at LinkedIn. A US article is telling us how to get the most out of this media by showing us 16 things we may be doing wrong. With LinkedIn being a leading avenue for professional networking, you need to be on it.

Stress seems responsible for any underperformance these days. We look at how you can retain a better memory by avoiding stress.

Speaking of stress we revisit estate planning and how important it is to choose the right executor for your will.

Hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter.

Regards
