As such, more and more cities, regions and countries are going into lockdown and people into enforced or self-imposed isolation to help fight Covid-19. This means that they might not be able to see their financial adviser face-to-face as they do ordinarily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd second, the economic landscape is shifting. The global economy is facing a short and deep recession. As always, new industries will emerge and, of course, there will be winners and losers in terms of sectors, jobs and wages \u2013 and this will, naturally, directly impact people\u2019s finances.<\/p><div id=\"inves-2591797911\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThird, we\u2019re moving towards an era of negative interest rates, which will affect people\u2019s investment decisions, amongst other financial matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd fourth because the ongoing volatility will present challenges that will need attention, but also major \u2013 perhaps once-in-a-generation \u2013 buying possibilities and ways to shore-up your retirement income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgainst this backdrop, in order to create, build-up and safeguard their wealth as the world adapts to a new era, investors should be revising their portfolios to ensure they mitigate risk and take advantage of the opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds: \u201cUsing a combination of existing technology, and our industry-leading applications, we&#8217;re able to offer unparalleled financial advice from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn these trying times we must all play our part, by removing physical interactions from our services, you can have peace of mind that your health, and your wealth will remain secure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe free Contactless Advice service will include a wealth scan in which you and your professional adviser will discuss your financial objectives and answer any questions you may have; a fact find in which your adviser will discuss your current financial situation with you; and a customised report which your adviser will analyse and discuss with you and outline your recommended next steps, if any are needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving forward, using our pioneering app, you&#8217;ll be able to track your entire portfolio and financial strategy in real time and book an e-meeting with your adviser, should you have any queries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deVere CEO adds: \u201cThe world is changing fast and a short coronavirus-triggered global recession and the subsequent recovery will have lasting and far-reaching consequences for people\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExperts agree that very seldom is it a good idea to take a DIY-approach to something so fundamental to your life as your finances. With the financial and economic landscape shifting and evolving so rapidly, this, I suggest, is certainly not the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this free service that offers professional, independent advice, there\u2019s no need to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Green concludes: \u201cThe ground-breaking Contactless Advice is designed for today\u2019s world and with client experience and outcome expectations front and centre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The content of this publication is for information purposes and should not be treated as a forecast, research or advice to buy or sell any particular investment or to adopt any investment strategy.\u00a0 It does not provide personal advice based on an assessment of your own circumstances.\u00a0 Any views expressed are based on information received from a variety of sources which we believe to be\u00a0reliable, but\u00a0are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness.
