In this quarterly market update, we take a step back and look at what really happened during the first quarter of 2026 and what it means for your financial plan. We have been partnering with East Bay Investment Services since 2021 to help guide our investment models. Each quarter, they provide a balanced view of the economy, including both opportunities and risks. One consistent theme over the years has been the presence of global conflict as part of the overall investment landscape. In the first quarter of 2026, that risk moved from the background to the forefront. The conflict with Iran pushed oil prices higher and created volatility across both stocks and bonds. Despite that, the bigger story may be how resilient the U.S. economy and markets have been through this period. Economic growth has continued to move forward, while inflation outside of energy and unemployment has remained relatively stable. While headlines may suggest otherwise, the underlying data tells a more balanced story. Here is a quick summary of what we saw during the quarter: 8% is the average one-year total return for the U.S. stock market following the onset of geopolitical events. Investors who choose to “do something” by selling stock in response to such events tend to miss out on the market’s recovery and future growth. 20% represents the amount of the world’s oil supply that passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is a critical shipping lane that was effectively closed during the war in Iran. Oil prices surged in Q1 as a result, but the price of oil and its long-term effect on stock market returns have not shown a strong causal relationship historically. 8 is the number of well-known, large, tech-related companies that underperformed the S&P 500 index in Q1. The collection of stocks is widely known as the “Magnificent 7” and welcomed a new member to the group, now known by some as the “Hateful 8.” -1.9% ia the YTD return of a portfolio comprised of 60% MSCI ACWI and 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate (hedged USD). In other words, despite the unnerving headlines during the year and increased market volatility, a globally balanced portfolio comprised of both stocks and bonds is down just slightly this year. When we break things down further, we continue to look at the economy through a glass-half-full and glass-half-empty lens. On the positive side: These factors help explain why many portfolios have held up better than expected, even with increased volatility. On the other side of the equation: As always, the full picture is more nuanced than any list of bullet points. Markets are influenced by many moving parts, and short-term events often feel more significant than they are over time. That is why we continue to focus on long-term planning, diversification, and avoiding emotional decisions during periods of uncertainty.

Jack Richards joins James Hughes and Fernando Daotro
Despite ongoing global economic pressures and geopolitical uncertainty, start-ups grew by 14% in Quarter One of 2026, with a total of 7,263 start-ups registered in the first three months of the year. This sustained growth in start-up activity highlights the continued resilience of Irish entrepreneurs, even in the face of inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, and global economic uncertainty. Key Sectoral Growth Key sectors driving this growth include construction (+908, +31.98%), community and personal services (+644, +23.14%), financial services (+881, +6.53%), and manufacturing (+183, +46.40%). In volume terms, professional services (legal, accounting and business) saw the highest number of start-ups, totalling 1,327 in Q1 2026, although this represents a 1.3% decrease on Q1 2025. Regional growth remains strong Dublin continues to lead in overall volume of new business registrations, accounting for 2,096 start-ups in Q1 2026, and recording year-on-year growth of approximately 17.69%. Regional hubs demonstrating strong performance include Cork with 736 start-ups (+16.64%), Limerick with 262 (+18.02%), and Galway with 311 (+11.07%). Elsewhere, Kildare recorded 337 start-ups (+38.68%), Meath 280 (+6.87%), and Wicklow 197 (+24.68%). These figures indicate that while Dublin remains the primary hub for business formation, strong growth is also evident across key regional and commuter-belt counties. January was the busiest month for new company start-ups in the quarter, continuing the trend seen in previous years of a strong start to the calendar year. Commercial Judgements The legal and credit landscape also showed signs of shifting dynamics in Q1. Commercial judgments experienced a significant decline, falling 11 % in volume and a substantial 44 % in total value terms, suggesting a decrease in high-value legal debt recoveries. Parallel to this, the influx of new leadership saw a slight cooling; the number of first-time directors fell by approximately 8%, dropping from 8,880 in 2025 to 8,128 in 2026. This suggests that while established sectors continue to expand, the entry of new individual stakeholders into the directorial market has been less buoyant. Commenting on the Q1 figures, Christine Cullen, Managing Director of CRIFVision-Net, said: "The strong growth in new business registrations in the first quarter of 2026 reflects continued confidence in the Irish economy and highlights the resilience and ambition of Irish entrepreneurs. "However, the economic landscape remains complex. While the significant double-digit decrease in the volume and value of commercial judgments suggests a cooling in high-value debt recoveries, the eight per cent dip in first-time directors indicates a slightly more cautious approach from new individuals entering the market. When coupled with the increase in insolvencies, it is clear that many businesses are still navigating significant financial strain. "Despite challenges, the continued strength in start-up activity across sectors and regions suggests that the Irish business community remains dynamic and forward-looking. This balance between opportunity and pressure will be a defining feature of the economic landscape in the months ahead."

This episode is about protecting what actually matters. It is about ensuring that Christmas does not quietly become another period of distraction, half work and emotional absence. Too many men drift through the festive period with one eye on their phone, one eye on work and neither fully present with their family. This training is designed to stop that. I walk you through a simple but powerful system to help you switch off properly, create peace of mind around work and be fully present at home. It is not complicated. It is not fancy. It works because it is intentional and it respects the value of your time, energy and attention. In this episode, I break down a five part blueprint that allows you to enjoy Christmas without guilt, stress or the constant pull back into work. In this episode, I cover: • Why building success from home must remain the non negotiable standard, especially over Christmas • How to identify your true professional and personal priorities so you can switch off with confidence • Why clarity equals peace of mind and how to remove the mental noise that drags you back into work • The three Christmas deadlines every man needs to set, including when to switch off, when to dip in and when to return • How to plan January and Quarter One before Christmas so you return calm, focused and in control • Why completing your audit early frees you to enjoy the festive period without carrying mental weight • How to define the outcomes you want for Christmas and set clear rules around phone use, work, training and boundaries • What to avoid over Christmas and how writing down your worst case scenario helps you prevent it This is about leading yourself properly during a period where most men slowly disconnect from their family and themselves. With a simple plan in place, you can enjoy Christmas fully and return to work with clarity, momentum and strength. If you want to live and operate at a higher standard, this is the work.

In this episode, Nick and Dave take a seat at the kitchen table to unpack the highs and lows of the first quarter of 2025. From global diversification wins to U.S. economic uncertainty, they break down what investors need to know—and what they don't need to stress over. https://youtu.be/iXrCvNCGtO0 Glass Half Full Diversification Pays Off: International stocks outperformed U.S. markets in Q1, offering a little sunshine in an otherwise cloudy domestic market. Strong Labor Market: Unemployment remains low, with a resilient workforce keeping things steady despite headline doom and gloom. Inflation Easing: February inflation reading at 2.8% shows a softening trend, starting Q2 on a hopeful note. Glass Half Empty Tariff Uncertainty: Global trade tensions and tariff talks are creating ripple effects in consumer sentiment and investor confidence. Fed Rate Cut Expectations Dwindle: Initial optimism about multiple rate cuts is fading fast amid inflationary pressures and policy wait-and-see approaches. Consumer Confidence Dips: Despite spending holding strong, consumers are increasingly cautious about what's ahead. Long-Term Lens Nick and Dave remind listeners that short-term dips and economic jitters are nothing new. They share a powerful chart (linked below!) showing that even with frequent downturns, the market trends upward over time. It's a comforting nudge to stay the course, breathe, and trust the process. Check out the chart on past downturns and long-term performance [linked here – add link when published].

Send us a textQuarter one of 2025 has vanished, and with it, 25% of your year. For mortgage brokers, this moment demands serious reflection: Are you where you expected to be?The exciting goals and fresh energy of January often fade without systematic review. Without a manager breathing down your neck, the responsibility for accountability falls squarely on your shoulders. This critical juncture offers the perfect opportunity to assess both business performance and personal growth trajectories before proceeding into Q2.A thorough business evaluation examines financial metrics (revenue targets, completed mortgages, average case sizes), lead generation effectiveness, client experience quality, time management efficiency, and marketing consistency. Equally important is your personal development assessment: Are those January habits still intact? How's your mindset? Have you invested in your professional growth? Are you maintaining work-life balance and protecting your wellbeing?The consequences of skipping this review are severe: another year of directionless drifting, repeated mistakes, and stunted growth. Conversely, taking time away from your desk—in a distraction-free environment during your peak mental hours—to honestly evaluate Q1 empowers you to make meaningful adjustments while nine months remain.Setting specific, measurable Q2 goals transforms vague aspirations into actionable plans. Replace "I want more clients" with "I will generate 20 qualified leads monthly through LinkedIn" to create clear targets with definitive success metrics and weekly action steps.Ready to ensure 2025 doesn't slip away?

Ask yourself: How are things going? We've talked a lot lately about life, health, and deeper spiritual things, but today, let's talk about your business. It may seem like just yesterday that you were reflecting on your last year and planning out your goals for the year to come, but right now we're at the end of quarter one. There's plenty of the year still to go, but it's a great point to stop and ask yourself how things are going in your business. If you decided to make changes this year, how is that going? Is your business on the right path to achieving your goals? Are you tracking and planning your finances and taxes? Is it time to review your branding, services, or pricing? In this episode, I'm asking all of these questions and more to help guide you in really diving in to reflect on your business. It's a process that can sound overwhelming at first, but we'll be breaking it down in a way that feels simple, clear, and empowering. And if you realise that maybe you're not where you thought you were, that's ok. We all drop the ball on different things from time to time and have different focuses in life. But this is a little gentle reminder to lovingly pick up that part of your business and run with it so that you can get the most out of your year and build a business that flows just how you want it to.
