The US v NZ investing conundrum

Shared Lunch

 The dominance of high earning tech stocks makes it hard for the likes of the NZX and ASX to compete. 

We talk to Harbour Asset Management’s Chris di Leva about how the sector make-up of an index and the local economy are a huge influence. But also why New Zealand is starting to look more attractive. 

Find what you need to consider when exposed to the US markets such as: does a change in portfolio weighting fit your risk appetite? Are you hedged against currency fluctuations?  And is it time to consider investment opportunities closer to home like Japan?
