S&W The Pulse

In this episode we will be discussing the year just gone, the labour manifesto and Chinese growth.

In this episode we will be discussing US politics and Brexit.

The launch of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump is also changing the race for the Democrat nomination. Rumours about his son’s activities in the Ukraine have left former frontrunner, Joe Biden, flagging, leaving left-winger Elizabeth Warren to take the reins.

This is a risk for the US equity market. Warren has strong views on corporate excess and is promising far-reaching reform for the healthcare, technology and energy industries. These are major components of the S&P 500.

In the UK, the risk of a no-deal Brexit appears to be fading, following Boris Johnson’s new Withdrawal Agreement. While the December election introduces new risks, the UK’s departure with a deal should draw investors back to the UK. Our latest investment commentary gives our views on the changing landscape.

In this episode, Nick Travis chats to David Spencer-Percival about his entrepreneurial journal and where the concept of No. 1 Rosemary Water began.

This week it has become increasing clear that Borris Johnson is willing to move mountains to take us out of the EU on the 31 October – ‘deal’ or ‘no deal’. We expect the new government to crack on with policies to mitigate the economic risk of a no deal Brexit. What might this look like? We will talk you through in this episode on ‘Borisnomics’ as we see it.

In our Talking Tax segments we will help you stay up to date with changes in the world of tax.

In this episode we will be talking about the changes to Entrepreneurs’ Relief, the changes to Private Residence Relief and the Office of Tax Simplification report on inheritance tax.

In addition we will also provide a roundup of recent tax changes, this time covering DAC6, the VAT domestic reverse charge and the Hargreaves Lansdown tax case.

In this episode we will be discussing the discrepancy between bond and equity markets, where the global economy is going and some financial sector risks.

In this episode Chris Springett from S&W speaks with Will Tremlett from Sotheby’s International Reality on the property climate and what is going on in the market at the moment that is driven by the tax changes we’ve seen.
