Welcome to a new Britain

Paolo Cabrelli | 11 Jan 2021 [Sound of crickets] Dear Reader,   Like me, you probably remember the early days of the Brexit campaign.   The sheer panic in the mainstream media. Talking heads falling all over themselves to proclaim the end of the world as we know it.   No food… no medical supplies… a collapse of Sterling.    And yet, here we are, a few days after Britain has left the EU, and the best the mainstream press can seem to come up with to back up their claims of disaster is a few lorries in Kent.    Otherwise, it's largely crickets.   It just goes to show, you should never be fooled by the constant doom-mongering you read.   Of course, we've all seen the level of government spending in 2020. Make no mistake, there are tough times ahead.    But make the right decisions over the next few weeks and months – which are some of the most important in the history of our great country – and you could set yourself on the road to a very prosperous financial future.   Indeed, you could play your part in a prosperous and exciting future for the country as a whole.    And I'd like to help you do exactly that.   Best wishes,   Paolo Cabrelli Publisher, Southbank Investment Research

Important Risk Warning   Before investing you should consider carefully the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.   General – Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid.   Small cap shares - Shares recommended may be small company shares. These can be relatively illiquid meaning they are hard to trade and can have a large bid/offer spread. If you need to sell soon after you bought, you might get back less that you paid. This makes them riskier than other investments.   Overseas investments - Some shares may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Any dividends will be taxed at source in the country of issue.   Taxation – Profits from share dealing are a form of income and subject to taxation. Profits from converting cryptocurrency back into fiat currency is subject to capital gains tax. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change.   Funds – Fund performance relies on the performance of the underlying investments and there is counterparty default risk which could result in a loss not represented by the underlying investment.   Investment Director: Rob Marstrand.
