On Earth Day 2022 we are proud to be able to offer our clients our Carbon Offset advisory service as part of our holistic approach to financial planning. Our thinking here is that we already help clients manage risk, finances and monitor investments, so why not also add in the elephant in the room - Carbon footprints and how to achieve carbon neutrality. It’s kind of another of those things, we're thinking here - insurances, wills, home maintenance etc - things that we have such good intentions about, that we intend to do and just because we just don’t have enough time we tend to put off and never get around to it. Our carbon footprint is becoming more and more an actual thing we need to think about. We think that we can help clients achieve it quite easily… let us know if you’re interested… you can make a time to talk by clicking here

We talk about having backward looking glasses in investment, meaning wouldn’t it be great to have the power to see the future… well here is what some very talented scientists and film makers have put together… the choice as they say is ‘Yours’ -
‘What does the future hold for humanity and our changing climate in the 21st century? Using projections from the IPCC Fifth Report and the climate science literature, we've put together a timelapse showing what may lie ahead. On the left hand side of the screen you'll see an "optimistic" view, where although we continue to emit carbon dioxide at significant levels, investments in clean energy and mitigation try to curb the damage. On the right hand side, you'll see a future where humanity emits as much as we please and very little mitigation takes place.’
