From their members info:

Date: Tuesday the 19th November 2019
Time: 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Venue: The Papanui Club, Sawyers Arms Road, Christchurch
Facilities: Ample parking. The Bistro is open until 8.30 pm

Note the earlier time of 5 p.m. This is so we can fit in with Sam's busy schedule, and enable him to make his departing flight from Christchurch.

Sam Stubbs founded Simplicity- a not for profit fund manager, offering Kiwi Saver and other investments funds. Sam has a big vision and believes that New Zealand is poised to be “the Singapore” of the Pacific. He also has a unique perspective on Public Private Partnerships.

“When investing, the cockroach theory says, there is rarely just one under the
fridge”, says Sam Stubbs. He is not afraid to call out questionable governance and recently wrote a “please explain” letter to Sir John Key, the Chairperson of the Board of the ANZ Bank (NZ) asking for transparency around a recent land transaction by his ex-CEO.

In early October Sam announced that Simplicity will be entering the mortgage market by offering first home loans to its members at a rate well below the bank.

Expect this presentation to be both thought provoking and informative.

Just a reminder ... the Sam Stubbs presentation is this coming Tuesday at 5 pm at the Papanui. Plenty of parking available. Please arrive on time.
