Adviser Newsletter, March 2026

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2026.

Against a back drop of renewed global turbulence, we welcome the opportunity for optimism as we leave the rain of winter behind. The days are growing lighter and the first signs of spring are in the air; we look forward to the year ahead with a reminder of the Budget changes that will impact your clients in 2026. We have also provided you with a short summary of the Chancellor's Spring Forecast on 3rd March.

We wanted to give you an important reminder of the deadlines for investing before 6 April, which falls over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. The last day we can take ISA subscriptions and undertake sales for CGT purposes is Thursday 2nd April, as Friday is a Bank Holiday.

On a broader note, we discuss how the level of UK inflation is determined by reviewing a basket of consumer goods and what the constituents of this basket are. Since CAM began working with clients in 1988, this has included everything from Smash and VHS videos, through to garlic bread and MP3 players.

Finally, we continue to be aware of exceptionally high levels of crime impacting our industry. Email hacking is particularly prevalent, as are bogus contacts from criminals seeking personal information and promising rewards for providing it. We are here to help you to navigate this worrying behaviour. Do reach out if we can help in any way. If you are not yet using AdviserCAM, I strongly encourage you to find out more about the portal.

With best wishes,

Nick Coghill
