Today marks 20 years of Wayne Austin IFA Ltd.

Wayne founded the business in 2006 and I’ve been privileged to be part of the journey for the last 15 and a half years, watching it grow from a small independent practice into the strong, established firm it is today.

I’m incredibly proud of the role I’ve played in that growth and, more importantly, of the trusted relationships we’ve built with our clients over the years.

Financial planning is about far more than products, markets or legislation. It’s about people. We’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of individuals, families and business owners through some of life’s most important moments: from retirement planning and protecting loved ones, to investing for the future, growing and selling businesses, and navigating periods of uncertainty, including challenging markets and personal difficulties.

What makes me most proud is that so much of our growth continues to come from introductions and recommendations. That trust is something we never take for granted.

I look forward to continuing to help clients and their families make confident financial decisions through life’s milestones for many years to come.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Every year the smartest people in finance make confident market predictions. And every year… the market reminds them who’s really in charge.

📈 In 2025 the S&P 500 finished the year at 6,845.50
➡️ +16.4% return
What did the experts predict?
Morgan Stanley 6,500
Goldman Sachs 6,500
UBS 6,600
Bank of America 6,666
Deutsche Bank 7,000
Stifel 4,609
Most clustered together. Most were wrong. Some were spectacularly wrong.

📈The FTSE 100 closed the year at 9,931.38
➡️ +21.5% — its best year since 2009
What did analysts say beforehand?
• Most forecasts: 8,500 – 8,800
• UBS: 8,200
• AJ Bell: 9,000
• General outlook: “modest recovery”
Reality?
💥 A huge rally
💥 Financials strong
💥 FTSE actually outperformed the S&P 500

Markets don’t follow headlines. They don’t obey forecasts. They don’t care what “experts” think.
They respond to:
✔ company earnings
✔ innovation
✔ global economic growth
✔ long-term value creation
This is why the most costly investment strategy is:
👉 “Waiting until things feel clearer”
Because clarity always arrives after the opportunity. A good financial plan doesn’t rely on predictions. It relies on discipline, diversification and time.
Disclaimer: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments can go down as well as up. Seek professional advice before investing.
