       Note, studies by Vanguard of the UK and global   SW Financial Planning (note the new name!)
       markets  have  indicated  that  “the  less  time
       invested the less potential to maximise returns”
       and  therefore  that  if  lump-sum  investment  is
       possible, it is likely to be preferred to ‘Pound Cost
       Averaging’,  despite  the  additional  exposure  to
       volatility.
       The  study  indicated  that  across  a  range  of
       traditional asset weightings, 75 times out of 100
       the lump-sum investment will outperform. Risk
       and reward in action.
       The table below illustrates how volatility on the
       S&P 500 is reduced over time and how those with
       the  ‘stomach  for  it’  benefit  from  earlier
       investment  and  less  frequent  checking  of  their
       respective portfolio(s).

                                              29 September – 5 October
      Anniversary  of  the  D-Day  Landings  -
      octogenarian  Bernie  Jordan  made  global   The Royal Opera L’Elisir D’Amore
      headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from   5 October
      his care home to join fellow war veterans on a
      beach  in  Normandy,  commemorating  their   Please note: times may be subject to change please
      fallen comrades.                        check the website for full listings
      It was a story that captured the imagination of
      the  world  -  Bernie  seemed  to  embody  the
      defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that
      was fast disappearing.
      But of course, it wasn’t the whole story. It was
      the story we all tell ourselves to make war and
      old  age  bearable.  The  bitter-sweet  script
      explores the reality with wit and a very big
      heart.
      Bernie’s  adventure,  spanning  a  mere  48
      hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-
      year marriage to Rene – the story celebrates
      their love without sentimentality and with an
      eye to the lessons we can all learn from the
      Greatest Generation.
