UKSA publishes a newsletter entitled "The Private Investor" each month which is distributed to all members — a sample is shown to the left. It is also sent to influential people in the media, financial and political worlds.

It is available in both printed form and as a digital PDF document. The latter has many advantages to both UKSA and the readers. 

The newsletter covers UKSA activities, topical news, plus articles from members and from other contributors.

The list below indicates the contents of past newsletters. If you would like to receive a copy of any issue via email then please contact the membership secretary: Membership (it would be sent as a PDF document).

To receive regular copies you would need to join the Association as a member (see Membership for the other benefits of that) unless you qualify for a free copy (journalists, politicians, educational institutions, etc).

For earlier years than those listed on this page, go to Earlier. Note that the newsletter was renamed in October 2005 - earlier copies were entitled "Update".
