🧠 Supporting Mind This World Mental Health Day 💙

Mental health support can change lives.

This World Mental Health Day, we're proud to support our charity partner, Mind, and their See Me Now campaign, which is calling for everyone to receive the mental health support they need, when they need it. The campaign highlights the importance of people feeling seen, heard, and supported from the day they ask for help, rather than facing long waits during some of their most difficult moments.

Mental health affects us all, whether personally or through the experiences of family, friends, colleagues, or clients. Taking the time to check in with someone, listen without judgement, and encourage them to seek support can have a meaningful impact.

At One Four Nine Group, we're pleased to stand alongside Mind in raising awareness of mental health and supporting the call for better access to timely, effective support.

Over recent weeks, we've shared why business owners choose to sell to One Four Nine and what they can expect throughout the acquisition journey. But don't just take our word for it.

Alan Ball, former owner of Russell Gibson Financial Management – now integrated into the Group as One Four Nine Wealth (Aberdeen) - discusses why he decided to sell to One Four Nine and where he was looking for in a buyer.

Having built and led a successful financial planning firm for 18 years, Alan provides an honest account of why he decided to sell his business, what he was looking for in a prospective buyer, and his experience of the sales process.

Selling your business is about more than agreeing a deal. Many business owners seek a partner who understands what they’ve built, values your clients and people, and is committed to protecting your legacy.

Hearing directly from business owners who have been through the process provides valuable insight into what it's really like to become part of One Four Nine Group.

Whether you're actively planning a sale or simply beginning to think about the future of your business, we're always happy to share our experience and approach.

Our latest One Four Nine Portfolio Management Market Commentary – September 2026 is now available.

The summer months saw markets contend with geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, changing interest-rate expectations and concerns around government finances. While global equity markets remained relatively resilient, bond markets experienced increased volatility as investors weighed inflation risks and the prospect of rates remaining higher for longer.

In the UK, inflation rose from 2.6% in June to 2.9% in July, remaining above the Bank of England’s target, while higher bond yields reflected growing concerns around borrowing costs and fiscal policy. Similar themes played out across global markets as investors headed into autumn with a more cautious outlook.

🏔️ Charity Munro Challenge Complete and £14,444 Raised (and Counting!)

We’re incredibly proud of the 26 colleagues from One Four Nine Group who successfully completed the Cairngorms 4000s and Cairngorms Explorers Route challenges on Friday.

The day certainly tested the team, with slips, falls, 38km covered, more than 60,000 steps, 13 hours of walking, 70mph winds and thousands of rocks climbed. The Cairngorms 4000s team successfully summited Braeriach, Angel's Peak, Cairn Toul and The Devil's Point, while the Explorers team reached the summit of Cairn Gorm. Despite the challenging conditions, everyone dug deep and crossed the finish line.

Together, we've now raised almost £14,500 for our charity partners, Beatson Cancer Charity, British Heart Foundation and Mind, and we're making one final fundraising push.

We'd also like to wish all 26 participants the very best of luck as they prepare to take on a very challenging day in the Scottish Highlands.

Today is Pension Awareness Day.

Many people spend years contributing to pensions through workplace schemes and personal arrangements. However, understanding what you have, where it is, and how it fits into your wider retirement goals is just as important.

A pension can provide the foundation for retirement, but a retirement plan takes a broader view. It helps you consider the lifestyle you'd like to enjoy, the income you'll need, and how your pensions, savings and other assets can work together to support your future.

That's why we've shared two resources below to help you take stock:

📖 What's the Difference Between a Pension and a Retirement Plan?

Our latest blog explains why retirement planning is about more than simply building up a pension pot.
