Newsletter – August 2023

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 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.

Despite concerns over Middle East conflict, rising oil prices, and inflation, global share markets posted solid gains, highlighting that markets are often driven by factors beyond the headlines.

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.
