Autumn is certainly here as we embrace the crisper air and the trees start to shed their leaves; and if you’d forgotten about the clocks going back in a matter of weeks, treat this as your reminder and mark it in your diary for October 27^th!

In the meantime, we’re delighted to bring you the latest edition of our Financial Wellbeing Newsletter to keep you up to date with everything that’s being going on at McCrea.

In this month’s edition, we make you aware of the expected rise in the weekly State Pension payment from April 2025 due to the ‘triple lock’ arrangement, we remind you about our delicious discount offer to top restaurants and bars in Glasgow, and we look ahead to our Charity Dinner and Wine Tasting at Maison by Glaschu!

The main body of the newsletter explains how investing in your 50s can significantly impact your quality of life in retirement and how you can avoid simple mistakes which could otherwise derail your retirement plans, while we also discuss your options when looking to invest a lump sum of money, as it can be challenging to determine the best course of action after a large inheritance or windfall. 

We round off the newsletter by congratulating the latest member of the team to celebrate 10 years at McCrea, and we give you the chance to win tickets to the Scotland vs Portugal Rugby Autumn International at Scottish Gas Murrayfield in November!

For all the above and more, you can have a read of the full newsletter here.
