Newsletter – April 2023

This month our theme is the OCR and how and why this is an important benchmark of an economy’s health.

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 month we explore how US businesses have coped following President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs in April, and outline the state of the general US economy.

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 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 lift the lid on shareholder voting. Our aim is to ensure that the companies that you are invested in are well-governed, responsible corporate citizens, and acting in your best interests.
