The highs, lows and lessons of 2025 and a look ahead to 2026
How have your investments fared in 2025? Overall, it’s been a good year for stock markets – despite some hefty bumps along the way. Will the bumps continue? What can we expect for 2026?
I've recently discussed this with Jonathan Moyes, Head of Investment Research and manager of the Wealth Club Portfolio Service. You can watch this 13-minute video below – I hope you find it insightful and please note it’s not advice.
How did our five portfolios perform overall? What were the ‘banana skins’ – and did we avoid them? What are my and Jonathan’s expectations for 2026?
Important: Our discretionary Managed Portfolios are long-term investments which can fall as well as rise in value; returns are not guaranteed. They are for investors happy to make their own investment decisions – they are not personal advice. If unsure they are right for you, seek advice.
A look ahead to 2026
The Wealth Club Portfolio Service: investing with a long-term lens
The Wealth Club Portfolio Service offers investors well-diversified portfolios that are managed by experts. These are the types of portfolios a private bank or wealth manager might build for you. But minus the hefty price tag that often comes with those services.
You simply choose the level of risk you’re comfortable with – and we’ll do the rest. The service is completely hands-off and takes the hassle out of investing. Note this is not personal investment advice: you choose the portfolio you think is right for you.
