Newsletter – January 2023

This month our theme is ‘a change in direction for interest rates’. We take a quick look at what the RBNZ and OCR do, why the OCR has increased, and what this change could mean for households and businesses.

The Booster Wine Group, now the Tahi Fund’s largest investment, is an amalgamation of four prominent New Zealand wine companies spanning the Hawke’s Bay, Nelson, Marlborough, and Central Otago regions. This month we showcase the upgraded facility at the Awatere River Winery in Marlborough.

This month we discuss currency – the opportunities a weaker New Zealand dollar creates for your investments and how we cushion against currency volatility.

This month our theme is outlining what the US-Iran conflict may mean for investments and investors.

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.
