icking up on where we left o at the end of last year,
2017 is already proving to be another year where
politics take centre stage. For UK investors, the
main focus is going to be on the Brexit process, and
the possibility of another referendum in Scotland.
But there is also a need to keep one eye on the series
of elections taking place across Europe; so we look at what impact the
shift away from centrist parties and individuals may have.
Following the UK’s vote to leave the European Union, the subject
of conversation now turns to how Prime Minister Theresa May can
make a success of the split. Economist David Smith looks at what the
government hopes to achieve post-Brexit and the sectors that could
help to drive growth in the UK economy.
One such sector is cell therapy. The UK is one of the world’s leading
centres for this industry, supported by government funding. We look at
its potential to drive both growth and jobs while also providing cutting-
edge treatment for a number of diseases.
Elsewhere, we look at how upcoming advances in aircraft
technology are set to propel air travel to new heights. In addition, as
the St. James’s Place Foundation marks its 25-year anniversary, we
look back at some of its successes and the good causes it has supported.
I do hope the articles will be of interest to you. If you have any
queries, please do not hesitate to contact your St. James’s Place Partner.
