Building Back Better: Opportunities For Advisers

Andrew Aldridge, Partner & Head of Marketing at Deepbridge, recently spoke with Professional Adviser to discuss the UK Government's current tagline of 'Building Back Better' which is focused on the realisation that we all can live in a smarter way and that the UK has the opportunity to be at the forefront of twenty-first century sustainable innovation.

"The Government has repeatedly trumpeted three key sectors whose success will enable us as a nation to achieve these lofty goals. The sectors of digital innovation, healthcare advancement and sustainable energy production, are rightly these areas of focus.

Importantly for advisers, this national focus enables them to identify the investment opportunities and sectors where investors could, and probably should, be focusing.  This is particularly important when considering venture capital and private equity holdings, such as tax efficient investments.

As an organisation that has spent the past decade, and more, championing these sectors, it is of course good to see real political force now being employed to grow these areas, about which we are so passionate.

The UK has a long and proud history of technological innovation and there is no suggestion that this will change. The challenge is how best to harness this innovative thinking and not only having good ideas but also then creating the best tech companies and the highly skilled jobs of tomorrow. Digital and tech solutions to real world challenges will enable us, and future generations, to live more efficiently and, if developed correctly, hopefully address significant social challenges."
