The events unfolding in Ukraine are deeply concerning and our continued thoughts are with those impacted by this conflict, some of whom are our clients and our employees.
 
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has received widespread condemnation, has sparked heightened stock market volatility. As many of our clients look to us to provide guidance, we would like to confirm and reassure you that our investment management and research teams are closely monitoring the situation with a view to making any changes to portfolios we manage that are deemed appropriate, taking into account any impact this may have on holdings and asset classes.
 
Our approach to investing remains unchanged as we continue to invest for, and focus on, the long term. We stand firmly by our philosophy of ‘time in the market’ rather than ‘timing the market’, noting that as with the COVID-19 pandemic markets display resilience over time and can withstand significant challenges. As such, we remain focussed on delivering long-term objectives for our clients.
 
If you do have any questions or concerns about your investments and the impact that this conflict may have on them, please contact your usual Redmayne Bentley executive or office.
