AIFA launches new quarterly economic analysis for members
The Association of Independent Financial Advisers (AIFA) has today issued to members its first economic analysis report.
This will be a quarterly publication to give members a better understanding of what is happening in global economies and provide insights into how these are liable to impact on investment markets.
The analysis is prepared for members by AIFA's new Associate Member: Seven Investment Management.
The analysis covers issues such as the European debt issue, fluctuations in the currency markets, and growth forecasts from around the globe.
The paper then considers the potential impact on equity and investment markets across the world.
Robert Sinclair, Director of AIFA, said: "We believe this analysis from Seven Investment Management will be of huge benefit to our members.
"It is designed to give members an analysis of the world economic scene, a view of the probability of potential outcomes and an insight into what this might mean for markets in the coming months.
"It is not designed to replace other research they may undertake or dictate asset allocation, but instead provides information that assists in broadening their understanding of global issues and their impact on the investment outlook.
"The document provides a very succinct analysis of the key global issues and will build into a useful library for reference by members."
Justin Urquhart Stewart, Marketing Director at 7IM, added: "We are really pleased at Seven to have the opportunity to join with AIFA to help develop and promote the financial advisory and planning profession.
"At a time of financial austerity there has never been a more vital need for effective high quality financial support for the British public."
The economic analysis is available for AIFA members here: AIFA Economic Analysis - Volume 01
