Collins & Co Wealth Management Newsletter – December 2024

Welcome to summer and, for many, an active season with last-minute tasks and celebrations with family and friends. We take this opportunity to wish you and your family a joy-filled and safe festive season!

With stock markets ending a year that has seen some jitters due to geopolitical worries and more recently a new Trump presidency, taking a punt on the best time to buy or sell shares is tricky even for the professionals. Our first article looks at an alternative investment strategy that can be useful for mid- to long-term investors known as dollar cost averaging which can help to take the guesswork out of investing.

It is the season for giving and generous gestures and if you are wanting to help your adult children get ahead financially there are a few things to consider which we explore in our second article.

Finally, as we navigate the silly season of shopping, social gatherings, and feasting, our last article outlines a few ways to enjoy the festivities, while emerging a little less frazzled.

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
