Newsletter – February 2025

This month our theme is why things still feel sluggish despite indicators suggesting that the NZ economy is entering the early stages of recovery.

This month we showcase three companies within the Booster Innovation Fund – Mars Bioimaging, Hot Lime Labs and MACSO Technologies. These companies are prime examples of high-potential, early-stage investment built on NZ innovation.

This month we outline President Trump’s revised tariffs and trade deals and what this mean for NZ, and global financial markets.

This month we take a deep look at SRI vs ESG investing. A growing number of investors want to encourage companies to act responsibly in addition to delivering financial returns. ESG and SRI are often used interchangeably, but have important differences.

Our theme this month is shareholder voting and highlighting a few recent votes on resolutions that Booster, as the manager of your investments, has made on your behalf.

This issue covers the importance of being invested, through the highs and lows, over the longer term.
