Whether you have an existing portfolio of investments built up over the years, have inherited a portfolio or are starting from scratch, Thorntons can help you to identify your investment needs. We can help you to assess your investment requirements, tax position and sensitivity to risk. The type of investment held in a portfolio should reflect the investment needs and character of the investor.
Some investors require income while others invest for long-term growth.
Many seek to strike a balance between income and growth. Your return on investments will depend upon the strategy adopted. In the case of gilts and bonds, returns on capital invested will reflect yields at the time of purchase and the subsequent movement in interest rates. In the case of shares, returns will be affected by company profitability, the expectations of other investors and market confidence.
