We live in a tumultuous market, writes BDO's Duncan Chandler. https://ft.trib.al/SsakhGD Even if some of the Magnificent 7 have not quite recovered from last year’s highs, the S&P 500 index itself sits more than 3 per cent above its level at the start of the Iran war, and almost 30 per cent higher than a year ago. Even the Euro Stoxx is up 13 per cent on the year. For wealth managers this has underpinned growth of assets under administration and, with it, fee growth, he writes.

Savings rates are rising across the board, says Moneyfacts, with more than half of accounts hovering above the base rate. https://ft.trib.al/2YhYhxR Caitlyn Eastell, personal finance analyst at Moneyfacts, said savings rates were rising across the board, and this was the first time since September 2023 that all average Isa and non-Isa rates have increased in the same month. She said savers should review their products to ensure they're on the best rate.
