Investing in the New Paradigm

Investing in the New Paradigm

A new paradigm exists today for many investors used to sitting face to face with their advisor to discuss and plan extra value investment opportunities.

This facility has disappeared with Covid – 19 impacting large swathes of the world and severely impacting the ability of people to get “face to face” for the foreseeable future.

The global economy has deserted investors who are left with a serious challenge of how to grow funds and secure income over the coming, unknown period of time

We have seen traditional sources of investments; be they bank accounts with almost zero interest rates or normal investment funds invested for the long term in equities dive to the bottom. Zero returns and big deficits.

This has made planning for our future and current income streams ever more difficult. It’s fair to say even the best wealth managers act on the typical “Hold & Buy” planning mantras at times like this. In other words: don’t take your loss; let it recover; invest more to take advantage of the up turn. The “latter” is great if you have any free cash left but the first two stages don’t deal with the need for income and growth.

So, What about the now?

The questions we all now need to answer are:

1. How can we invest to create sustainable income or growth?

2. Which markets might we find a solution?

3. How do undertake an investment remotely?

Trying to answer the questions perhaps leads us to alternative investment markets and to products that may not have previously been considered, or more likely even known of. For sophisticated investors and high net worth individuals or corporations these may range from Corporate Loans/ Bonds or Funds in the alternative asset space and cover capital

markets activities including FX, Equities, Bonds – all typically highly liquid and with greater potential for higher returns, of course the risk is higher too, but highly controllable.

Investing in these within the new paradigm of course places more emphasis on working with reputable businesses, such as those working under the rules and regulations of the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Berkeley House Capital limited1 is one such business.

The truth is we will all most likely have to get used to undertaking our investments in the context of new ways of working and looking at new markets and opportunities – something to prepare for now perhaps!
