April 2023 deadline: Can I, and should I, boost my State Pension?

When the new State Pension was introduced from 6 April 2016, the Government also temporarily extended the normal six-year window which allows you to pay Voluntary (Class 2 or 3) National Insurance Contributions (NICs) to fill in gaps as far back as 6 April 2006.

This extension ends on 5 April 2023, meaning that you now have less than 6 months to take advantage... #2023

Why holding too much cash can inhibit your goals

During times of uncertainty, it can be tempting to move more of your wealth into cash. It seems “safer” due to its ability to shield from stock market volatility, and there is the security of knowing the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) guarantees up to £85,000 of savings if your bank should fail. Yet, perhaps counter-intuitively, holding too much cash can be detrimental for your financial goals...

How do I start saving and investing?

You may hear a lot of talk in the media about where you should and shouldn’t be investing your money. But what if you haven’t established any kind of savings or investment pot yet? Where do you start?

Some useful points to remember when judging options is that any ‘investment’ should have an expected positive outcome, and anything less is ‘speculation’. Successful investing relies on taking a longer-term view, as markets change quickly and often with magnitude, so short-term ‘offers’ when analysed are ‘little more than gambling’.

In this article, we explore tips and strategies for helping you get started on your financial planning journey...

Buy-to-Let versus stocks & shares

British people are renowned for their love of property. 65% of Britons have bought the property they live in, whilst in Germany, the figure is 43%. Bricks and mortar are not only seen as a viable route to shelter, but are also popular investments. Buy-to-Let, in particular, is often attractive – where you put down a deposit on a mortgage which is then covered by tenant rental income, also providing a nice profit (at least in theory!). However, how does Buy-to-Let compare against the stock market?... -to-Let
