Dear Customer.

Two of Britain’s biggest income-paying stocks Shell and BP report on their financial performance later this month. There are also updates from drugs maker GSK, housebuilder Bellway and hotelier Whitbread. Richard Evans takes a closer look at what shareholders in these companies might expect.

Also this week - options for taking pension tax-free cash, why investing doesn't discriminate and China's unexpected stock market surge. Scroll down for more.

Important information - investors should note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon. When you are thinking about investing in shares, it’s generally a good idea to consider holding them alongside other investments in a diversified portfolio of assets. Reference to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell these securities and is included for the purposes of illustration only. This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.
