There’s a flavour of Victorian adventure, melodrama and high-level swindling in our latest issue of Bespoke magazine – Grant Thornton’s twice-yearly magazine for the HNW community. It’s also available to download (see below) so here’s a preview of what’s inside, including practical financial insights, riveting reads and tales of the good life.

Our Winter 2010 issue features:

* In Scott’s footsteps: how Roger Weatherby re-created Scott’s trek to the South Pole using only Victorian equipment, clothing and sealskin boots insulated with straw.

* The British Asian entrepreneur who arrived in 1971 with just £10 in his pocket and whose sense of humour is still opening doors.

* The pros, cons and changing outlook for EFRBS tax incentives.

* Mike Warburton – ‘the UK’s tax advisor’ – on bringing tax into the 21st century.

* Collectable whiskies – an expert’s guide.

* Great Fakes tells the story of some of the world’s greatest art forgeries, including the family that sold forgeries for millions from a shed in their council-house garden.

* Tips on due diligence to help protect you from expensive mistakes.

* Melodrama (and modern lessons) of a badly drafted Victorian will.

* Holding or considering loan notes? Read this feature to avoid a nasty tax surprise.

* A day in the life of… Noel Parkinson, former footballer turned car-buying entrepreneur.

* A round-up of recent tax changes, plus investment opportunities in the tech sector.

* Time is money for James Caan from Dragon’s Den, more so for his passion for investing in watches.
