Newsletter – October 2021

Responsible Investing at Booster and our backing of two climate-focused investor initiatives – the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC).

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

This month we check in on the NZ Economy and the role of GDP as an indicator of growth.

This issue explains recency bias, a phenomenon whereby investors let short-term performance influence their decisions, and ways to counter this, instead seeing the silver lining in market volatility.

This issue covers built-in ‘shock absorbers’ within your portfolio to cushion the effect of market volatility.

This month our theme is making sense of the “Liberation Day” tariffs, how these events unfolded and what this means for your investments.
