Newsletter – September 2024

Introducing our new Australian Active manager, DNR Capital, and a taste of their investment philosophy.

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.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is getting tough on inflation. The relationship between interest rates and inflation and what this means for your investments.

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 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.

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.
