Gazing into the crystal ball – a look at what’s in store for 2015<\/a><\/h6>\n
Commentary & Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n
Gazing into the crystal ball to look at what’s in store for 2015 is always dangerous, but we thought we would give it a go anyway. The key theme for 2015 will be the contrasting situations in the US and Europe. We expect the US to see continued economic growth and rising interest rates, whilst Europe will remain largely stagnant and pursuing a program of full-scale quantitative easing. This will affect currencies, interest rates, stock and commodities.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Greece fails to spook investors<\/a><\/h6>\n
Commentary & Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n
For almost six years now, we’ve been following the Greece story. Waiting patiently for some sort of resolution and an answer to the question – will Greece default or exit the Euro? And with a negative outcome seemingly possible and not far away, we would expect the market to be getting nervous about the potential flow on effects for investments and the global economy.
\nYet, instead of flocking to safety, investors have started shifting from the traditional safe haven of bonds to the more risky domain of equities. Last week we saw the 4^{th<\/sup> largest rotation out of bonds into equities in 6 years.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n}

How a mortgage works<\/a><\/h6>\n
Borrowing & Credit<\/a><\/p>\n
A mortgage is a long-term loan designed to help the borrower buy a house. Most home mortgages are principal and interest loans, or P&I loans. The principal is a technical term for the amount you borrow initially; and from then on, it’s the outstanding amount owing on the loan. Your mortgage payment amount is a combination of regular payments to pay down the principal, as well as the interest. The interest is calculated on the outstanding principal.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

It’s one thing to decide to get Life Insurance but how do you determine just how much you need? We all know that the more insurance gives us more protection but it also increases costs. It’s all about balancing what you can afford and future needs, it’s a trade off and taking the right approach <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
