Webinar: 2025 - Trump card... or busted flush?

the return of 'the Donald' and other challenges

2024 saw remarkable returns from US equities, returns that underpinned performance across portfolios and hid lacklustre returns from shares elsewhere. Will 2025 be the year the pull of mean reversion proves irresistible for markets or will Trump's second term lead the S&P 500 to still higher levels?

We'll start this session with a review of 2024 and an analysis of where those stellar returns were generated before going on to consider the prospects for markets in 2025.

We are delighted to be joined by Dr James Watson, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of East Anglia. James will be giving his assessment of the likely economic impact of President Trump's new approach, in particular its likely effect on growth. James has sat on our investment committee for several years and his insight is always enlightening.

The session will finish with an open forum for questions and discussion.

Date: 28 January 2025

Time(s): 4.00pm til 5.30pm

Where: Online Webinar

Coffee or tea and cake will be served if you remembered to get some in.

What people have to say about previous events....

Two great presentations - although I'd experienced the business sale process before was good to hear the pitfalls from James again. Richard is always easy to listen to and his delivery is great. James explained each element in a interesting way - could easily have lost people if the delivery had been tedious! Love the idea of the presentations - this one was less interesting to me than the previous one - cake made up for it!

Radostina was marvelous, intelligent and had a lovely presence. Excellent speaker. Both talks were informative and intelligent. There were plenty of takeaways and the peer-to-peer conversation was engaging as well. Also, the cake halfway was a nice touch. I'll do anything for cake.

Rob Morley | Fountain Partnership

This was my first event, and I was impressed with how it was operated, the topics covered and the quality of the speakers.

Chadwick’s Masterclasses are one of the highlights in my calendar. Clearly, a great deal of thought and preparation goes into them, which results in useful and up-to-date information that helps me plan my personal money matters, develop my business and think more clearly about what to do next in this ever-changing world. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to improve the management of their finances.

Lindsey Mack | Director

I cannot recommend Chadwick’s Masterclasses too highly nor say enough good things about them. Chadwick’s Masterclasses provide fresh insights and offer practical steps to build, maintain and retain value in businesses. Richard delivers clear and well-thought-out advice while challenging preconceptions. The workshops are thoroughly researched and never turn into sales presentations. I learn something every time I attend.

I enjoyed all the sessions and took away a golden nugget or two from each of them.

Good choice of presentations, all of interest, good venue ... So many people don't think of the impact of retirement soon enough on both our finances and our wellbeing. All businesses would benefit from having these presentations for those in their late 50's and early 60's to get individuals thinking about what they need to do and what they want to do, to ease themselves into retirement.
