Oil and troubled waters? Q1 2026 Q1 2026 market update. By Chair of Investment Committee at Enhance, Alex Scott.

Enhance Group is proud to once again support the Greening Jersey initiative.

Greening Jersey was created to help drive environmental recovery and rewilding across the Island, in partnership with local charities including the National Trust Jersey and Jersey Trees for Life. Together, Jersey’s financial services community is helping to restore and transform natural spaces - from woodlands and wildflower meadows to vital wetland habitats - supporting the Island’s biodiversity and long-term environmental resilience.

We encourage fellow Jersey Finance Members to join us by signing up to take part - more details can be found below.

We look forward to connecting and collaborating with participants at volunteering activities throughout 2026, building on the positive impact achieved in 2025.
