From the economic effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to rising inflation and falling living standards, over the last year, investors have faced a multitude of difficult financial challenges. On top of this, the Chancellor’s Autumn budget and the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) economic forecast set a sober tone for the UK economy in 2023. Consequently, the current macroeconomic backdrop is not a recipe for decent investment returns in stocks, bond, and cash. This represents a significant challenge for investors and savers alike, who are already under increased pressure due to decisions made by successive governments, which have introduced a series of restrictions on pensions. Further compounding the issue, the financial strain caused by rising inflation and the cost-of-living crisis are causing significant stress for investors. Finance Monthly. Inve s tmen t 63
