These are common excuses people use to avoid buying life assurance, but they can leave loved ones vulnerable. Life assurance provides financial security, covering final expenses, paying off debts, and supporting your family in the event of your passing. Think of it not as something for you, but as a safety net for those you care about. The best time to buy is when you’re younger and healthier—premiums are lower, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your family is protected. Don’t wait until it’s too late—protect your family today. Speak to us about the best options for you. Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice.

HEATING UP Last week, equities were supported by optimism around global growth after US retail sales showed strong household consumption. This suggested that there may be fewer rate cuts from the Fed, while the ECB reduced its policy rate as expected at its meeting and guided for further to come. This week, focus is set to be on Thursday's global PMIs - a business survey - to gauge current and expected economic conditions. US retail sales for September were strong. Those for the control group, which is used to calculate GDP, rose by 0.7% m/m. This was more than double both expectations and the pace in August (0.3%) and suggested that American household consumption is robust. The ECB cuts its deposit rate by 25bps to 3.25% at its meeting last week and suggested that further rate reductions would be forthcoming given falling inflation and weaker than expected economic activity. In China, Q3 GDP rose by 4.6%y/y, the slowest pace in 18 months. This lacklustre growth backdrop justifies the stimulus measures from the authorities over the past month. For more details on China's stimulus and the market reaction. Last week, the S&P 500 rose by 0.9%, closing at a new all-time high on Friday, while the Euro Stoxx 600 was up by 0.6%. Tech stocks were weighed down earlier in the week by downbeat guidance from chipmaker ASML but rebounded after strong results and projections from Taiwan Semiconductor. Strong data in the US implied the Fed may cut its policy rate by less than projected, which contrasted with the ECB guiding for further policy easing. This was reflected in bond yields last week, with those of German bunds falling (bond prices rise as bond yields fall). The 10-year German bund yield declined by 11bps to 2.19%, while the equivalent US Treasury yield was unchanged 4.08%.
