Shackleton - Britain's financial adviser

When it comes to politics, one thing is certain. Change is inevitable.

It's only natural that this might lead to questions around how this can affect your long-term financial plans.

A well-structured financial plan should accommodate changes and be adaptable to meet shifting political landscapes. If you are not feeling confident around your own financial future, speak to your financial adviser to reaffirm your long-term plan is dynamic enough to meet any changes in the near or distant future.

A financial plan won't predict the future - but it can help you manage the future with confidence.

Let us help you make more informed decisions, whatever the future brings.

The US Treasury has announced a new campaign aimed at reducing the number of unclaimed Child Trust Funds.

From 4 July 2026, Trump Accounts will provide $1,000 for eligible children born between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2028. Families and other contributors can add up to $5,000 per year until the child turns 18.

The scheme has similarities to the UK's Child Trust Fund programme, which supported 6.3 million children born between 2002 and 2011, with the government contributing £2 billion to help encourage long-term saving.

It will be interesting to see how the US programme develops and what lessons can be drawn from the UK's experience.
