Newsletter – February 2022

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.

Our theme this month is Albert Einstein’s Eighth Wonder of the World – The Power of Compounding.

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.

It’s been an eventful start to the year. Tensions have been rising between Russia and Ukraine and central banks around the world are looking to increase interest rates.

Our theme this month is diversification.

A diversified portfolio is more resilient because it’s designed to capture growth while providing relative security during market downturns.

This month our theme is ‘shock absorbers’, the strategies we employ to reduce the effects of market volatility on your investments.
