Andy Burnham’s first Budget: what could it mean for your wealth, business and investment decisions?

  In collaboration with Connection Capital.

With Andy Burnham’s new government preparing for its first Budget, private investors, entrepreneurs and family offices are facing some important questions. How might the tax environment change? What could it mean for the way capital is structured and deployed? And how are other sophisticated private investors responding?

At the Shard on 15 October 2026, Simon Robinson, Partner will be chairing an exclusive, opinion-led discussion looking beyond the Budget headlines to consider the broader direction of travel for private wealth, business and investment in the UK.

Featuring Sam Kemp, CEO of Connection Capital and an experienced private markets investor, alongside Julia Rosenbloom, Partner at Shakespeare Martineau and one of the UK’s leading tax experts, the evening will bring together investment and tax perspectives on the measures we could see in the forthcoming Budget and what they could mean in practice.

Sam and Julia will explore the potential implications for business owners, personal wealth and investment decisions, as well as where a changing economic and policy environment could create opportunities for private capital. The discussion will draw on measures already announced by the Government, informed views on what may come next, and how investors and business owners are responding.

Designed to encourage meaningful discussion and peer-to-peer conversation, the event will also give you the opportunity to put your own questions to our experts, exchange perspectives with fellow investors and explore the issues most relevant to you, your business and your wealth.
