7IM Quarterly Investment Update - April 2026

Anyone hoping for a quiet start to 2026 has been disappointed. Take everything that was going on in 2025 (AI! Political change! Tariffs!) and add in a dose of old-fashioned geopolitics.

Every week that’s gone by, there’s been something to get excited about, or scared about… or both!

For most clients, portfolios will still be doing surprisingly well – most annual reviews are going to have positive, even double-digit returns. But there will probably be some concerns about the future. Worries about locking in gains. Doubts about continuing to invest.

We find that a bit of perspective can help cut through the noise. Finding the good news that doesn’t get mentioned, because it doesn’t make for exciting headlines. Join Ben Kumar and Chris Justham as they tackle:

• Market narrative beyond the day-to-day stories
• The longer-term trends to keep an eye on, and how to position portfolios
• The questions advisers are asking us most often

Who is this for?

• This session is designed for financial advisers, paraplanners and investment professionals.
