Since 2012, A24 Films (now A24 Films LLC) has revolutionized the landscape of filmmaking and distribution. They’ve committed themselves to amplifying the voices of rising visionaries, upending industry norms, and championing films that disrupt mindless consumption. If any one company saw that Hollywood and moviegoers alike had become complacent, it was this New York-based independent film entity that rode in on a dark horse to lead us in a new direction.

Next year is shaping up to be yet another eventful year for investors, who will no doubt be looking to their advisers for support, reassurance, and a steadying influence. These are key aspects of the service that advice professionals provide for their clients, presenting endless opportunities for them to highlight the value they deliver.

US nationals living in the UK represent a large pool of potential clients for financial advisers. According to Global Citizen Solutions data, 166,000 American nationals live in the UK, and that number is growing. In fact, Q1 2025 saw a record number of applications for British citizenship by Americans. There are a number of financial advice businesses which specifically cater for US nationals here in the UK, but many non-specialist planning firms also have a few US clients on their books.
