Cartwright have a strategic partnership with Collidr, a specialist investment firm who help us to curate and maintain a ‘buy-list’ of funds for our clients.

If the government can’t balance the books, investors will want a higher return (or yield) for holding Gilts.

Oh, and I wonder what will be the next food item to get a tag in the supermarket?
