Welcome to the November issue

Welcome to the November issue of Coutts Woman, where we are delighted to have recently been named a ‘must-read’ by the Daily Telegraph.

This month we celebrate the release of the new ‘Elizabeth – The Golden Age’ movie with a fascinating interview with Penny Dyer, the voice coach not only behind Cate Blanchett’s powerful tones in this film, but also Helen Mirren’s clipped English in Oscar winning, The Queen, last year.

We also speak to ballerina Leanne Benjamin about her role in the latest Coutts-sponsored production of Jewels and Abigail Sharan tells Coutts Woman the inspirational story of her rise to becoming the youngest member of Microsoft’s UK executive team, on the back of a shaky academic start.

Michele Nevard gives us her guide to the best Christmas markets to visit this winter and for those looking to move to warmer climes at this time of year, Paula Hawkins looks at the viability of cross-border commuting and the impact on your tax liability.

With the recent stock market ups and downs, we take an important look at what the current investment climate means for your portfolios and with women’s pensions increasingly hitting the news agenda, we look at some of the issues and how you can redress the balance.

Don’t forget you can now also subscribe to receive updates from Coutts Woman, which will give a preview of up and coming features as well as exclusive subscriber access to future offers and events.
