Newsletter – February 2022

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 what the results of the NZ general election and the conflict in the Middle East mean for investors.

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

Our theme this month is Trump vs Harris – what the different parties are offering and how the US Presidential election may affect the markets.

Our theme this month is diversification. Diversifying investments can mitigate risk by balancing the ups and downs of individual shares, and individual countries to reduce their impact on your entire portfolio. A diversified portfolio is more resilient because it’s designed to capture growth while providing relative security during market downturns.
