“What should I do with my investments when markets feel unsettled?”

It’s a question that comes up a lot when things feel a bit uncertain.

Markets go up, markets go down - it’s not a warning sign, it’s just how investing works.

But that doesn’t make it feel any easier when things are moving around. The instinct is often to do something…move things, pause decisions, or try to get ahead of it.

But what we see time and time again is this - the people who handle volatility best aren’t the ones reacting quickest - they’re the ones who already have a plan they trust.

A few gentle reminders that are worth keeping in mind:
- Short-term movement doesn’t always reflect the bigger picture
- Selling in a dip can turn a temporary drop into a permanent loss
- Diversification is there for moments exactly like this
- And your long-term plan matters far more than this week’s headlines

The most difficult financial decisions tend to happen when things feel uncertain — when it’s easy for emotion to creep in. If your investments are starting to feel uncomfortable or are playing on your mind, it’s usually a good time to talk things through.

We’re always here if you need that reassurance or a sense check.

Behind every challenge, there’s a lot more than the finish line.

There are early starts, endless weather checks, tired legs, plenty of snacks, questionable route planning, and lots of laughter along the way.

Our first ever Desk to Desk Charity Walk was all of that and more.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the people, moments and memories that helped us walk 12 miles from Hambledon to Petersfield and raise £5,700 for the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation.

Enjoy the journey 🎥

“How much should I be saving each month?”

It’s one of the questions we get asked the most…and the honest answer is always: it depends.

Not on a rule or a formula - but on you. Your income, your plans, your family, and what you want life to look like in the future.

You might have come across the 50/30/20 rule: (50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings) — and it can be a helpful starting point…

But it’s only ever a guide.

In reality, what matters far more than hitting a “perfect” number is building something that actually works for your life — and that you can stick to.
Because good financial planning isn’t about getting it right for a month or two.
It’s about consistency over time.

And making sure your plan reflects your priorities - not someone else’s.

If you’re not sure what’s right for you, we’re always happy to help you figure it out.

We did it!

Our very first Desk to Desk charity walk is complete.

12 miles.
From office to office.
From desk to desk.

There was sunshine, wind, rain and even hail - but we kept going all the way to the finish line.

We’re incredibly grateful to all our clients, partners, friends and families for your support and encouragement throughout the challenge.

A special thank you to our drinks partner, , for keeping the team going along the way🥤

Together, we’ve raised an incredible £5,700 for the Charitable Foundation.

Very proud that another de Mellow & Co goal has officially been achieved!

Behind-the-scenes video coming soon 🙂

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week.

And it feels like the right moment to talk about something often left unsaid.

Because when it comes to money and mental health, the two are more connected than we sometimes realise.

Financial stress doesn’t just affect your bank account.
It affects your sleep, your relationships, your ability to think clearly.

And it works the other way too.
When our mental wellbeing is under pressure, financial decisions are often the first to suffer.

Often, the hardest part isn’t the finances themselves - it’s the feeling of not knowing where you stand.

So this week, if money has been a quiet source of stress, it might be time to take a small step.

Clarity helps.
A plan helps.
Having someone to talk to helps.

If you’d like to start that conversation, book a consultation with one of our planners.
