Newsletter – October 2021

This month our theme this month is time in the market vs timing the market. Avoiding the perils of emotionally driven investment decisions, which can often lead to missed opportunities and lower overall returns.

This month’s theme is the benefits of active management. Active management allows us to manage specific risks, adjust to market conditions, and uncover hidden investment opportunities. Dutch company ASML has been an exciting recent success story.

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

This month our theme is why things still feel sluggish despite indicators suggesting that the NZ economy is entering the early stages of recovery.

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 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.
