Dear Preview,
I am sure that clients and investment professionals alike are doing their very best to "white-knuckle" through these volatile times. At Renaissance Investments we have a number of different tools and resources to help clients understand that this is a time for rational thinking – not a time for knee jerk reactions.
In this edition of the eRenaissance Advisor you will find some insightful comments from one of our sub-advisors, Edinburgh-based Walter Scott and Partners who says that this market is providing plenty of buying opportunities for the Renaissance Global Growth Fund. In addition, you will find some great information on the Tax Free Savings Account, Tax Loss Selling ideas from Jamie Golombek and an interesting economic market commentary from Jeff Rubin!
I trust you will find the information contained within the E-Renaissance Advisor both timely and useful. If you would like hard copies of any of the material, please contact one of my team members or myself.
Our 3 primary goals in working with you are:
1) help you and your clients become more prosperous
2) help you choose investments that make sense for you and your clients
3) make it easy for you to do business with us
Thank you for your current and future support!
Best Regards,
Joe Smith
