Coronavirus / COVID-19

Our existing clients and prospective new clients will be acutely aware of the global disruption being caused by Coronavirus both in terms of the world’s economies and our ordinary way of life. AMR’s directors and staff are continuously monitoring and considering the position in order that we can react appropriately as the spread of the virus progresses

For the time being, we aim to reduce face-to-face client meetings to those that are essential and/or urgent so as to reduce the chances of our advisers either contracting the virus themselves or spreading it to others.  Telephone, email or facetime/Skype discussions can, of course, take place without restriction.

Investors will know that markets have been exceptionally volatile over the last weeks and values have fallen very significantly.  We expect volatility to continue to be a feature of investment markets over the coming weeks (and possibly months) until the virus spread has peaked and new infections start to reduce. However, the central banks and governments of most major economies have announced very strong supportive measures to reduce or negate the long-term impact on businesses and we therefore believe that, over the medium-term, markets will recover.
