Financial Markets Update
Turbulence in the global financial markets and the resulting impact
on the UK economy and consumer confidence mean we’re all witnessing
and experiencing unprecedented times.
Police Mutual is not immune from the current market turmoil but
we have taken action to safeguard the interests of our members.
By taking a prudent approach and investing in
more secure investments such as government bonds and cash, the
impact of the Stock Market decline has been greatly reduced. We
have steadily moved away from equity based investments over the
past year as the problems in the markets have become more
apparent.
We also have a strategy in place to further
reduce our investment risk if market conditions deteriorate,
protecting the financial standing of the Society and the interests
of our members.
Members with a PMAS Regular Savings Plan
