Newsletter – September 2021

This month our theme is ‘shock absorbers’, the strategies we employ to reduce the effects of market volatility on your investments.

This month our theme is Artificial Intelligence (AI) discussing where are we in the implementation of this new technology, and how is it impacting markets.

This month we take a look at what the NZ election campaign and eventual result could mean for different parts of the market, and why the impact may be more focused than the headlines suggest.

Our theme this month is interest rates. After the highest interest rates since 2008, the Official Cash Rate (OCR) was cut in August, marking the first cut since 2020. In this newsletter we outline what lower interest rates mean for your portfolio.

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

This month our theme is making sense of the “Liberation Day” tariffs, how these events unfolded and what this means for your investments.
