Colonial Pension Services is to hold a seminar looking at the impact on market returns of global issues such as trade wars, civil unrest, impeachment and Brexit.

Julie Hendrickson-Simons, client services specialist at Colonial Pension Services, said: “There is so much uncertainty in the world at the moment.

“In the US we have an impeachment inquiry, in the UK we have Brexit, in Hong Kong we have civil unrest and we have a war between Turkey and the Kurds.

“So we thought that it would be very important to talk to pension holders about how this is affecting market returns.

“Unfortunately we do not have a crystal ball but we can look at all the economic indicators and give some very informed advice.”

The event is open to everyone, and presentations will be made by the Colonial Pensions team, headed by Laurie Daniels, client services manager, as well as FIL Investments, an asset management firm that offers portfolio management, investment administration, and advisory services.

The event will be held on November 7, from 5.30pm until 7.30pm at “The Loft” in the Emporium Building on Front Street in Hamilton.
