Newsletter – August 2022

This issue covers broadening Booster’s direct investments in attractive, unlisted NZ assets – FleetPartners.

This issue covers our human nature of feeling twice as much pain from an investment loss as we do pleasure from a gain, and while it can be tempting to view our investments daily, the key to long-term investment success is being invested over the longer term.

Our theme this month is diversification. Diversifying investments can mitigate risk by balancing the ups and downs of individual shares, and individual countries to reduce their impact on your entire portfolio. A diversified portfolio is more resilient because it’s designed to capture growth while providing relative security during market downturns.

Our theme this month is Californian based Fisher Investments. As one of our specialist international investment managers, Fisher Investments play an important role in many of our funds, complementing our broader global equity exposures.

This month we unpack diversification. Diversification is a strategy to lower investment risk by spreading money across and within different asset classes, such as shares, bonds and cash. It’s one of the best ways to weather market ups and downs and maintain the potential for growth.

Our theme this month is the inflation taming efforts of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the link between inflation and interest rates.
