NZSA South Island Branch - meetings & seminars

[winner69]

Sorry for inciting your ire. My deepest appologies for having been slack (no excuses I could come up with), and yes, normally I am a bit closer to the ball and give a couple of weeks notice ...

Here is another place you could check, which normally announces these events a bit earlier: http://www.nzshareholders.co.nz/shar...D=6&branchID=5

These events are organised from the NZSA South Island for its (paying) members, but non members are normally welcome. If you want to make sure you learn about these talks at your earliest convenience, than I recommend to support the good work of the NZSA for all shareholders and join them: http://www.nzshareholders.co.nz/members.cfm; South Island Members are informed about these talks through a monthly newsletter.

If you join you could even volunteer to make these social media releases and do a much better job than I do.

You could even join the committee and organise them - this would give you still more notice ; Send me a PM if you are interested ...

....or better still offer to be a guest presenter

Starting to Invest in the Sharemarket? Confused? Wanting better options?

This is an independent educational and informational course presented by the N.Z. Shareholders Association. No sales pitches, just good advice.

The course assumes no prior investment knowledge, but is suited to those wishing to freshen or broaden their knowledge of available investment options.

The course offers an overview of a range of options available to retail investors.

The emphasis is on shares, bonds and managed funds, but also covers property and commodities.

The course will give you a range of tools and information to help you not only get started, but also build an investment portfolio, including a range of common ways of assessing performance of shares and funds.

It includes ways to assess and mitigate risks, asset allocation, fee structures, tracking tools, common scams and much more.

There are still some vacancies for this course which is limited to 18 participants.

Two sessions of 3 hours. Price is $130, reduced to the NZSA member or member partner price of $100 if you subsequently join the Association.

To enrol go to the NZSA website: https://www.nzshareholders.co.nz/sha...ts.cfm?eid=151

Price includes a 70+ page workbook and light refreshments for morning and afternoon tea.

An Evening with Sam Stubbs, Founding Director of Simplicity Fund Manager organised by NZSA South Island Branch.

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.

All welcome.

Date: Tuesday the 18th February 2020
Time: 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Venue: The Papanui Club, 310 Sawyers Arms Road, Christchurch

The NZ Superannuation Fund is a sovereign wealth fund with about $46 billion, (46 thousand million NZ dollars), invested. The purpose of the Fund is to partially pre-fund the future cost of NZ Superannuation, which is expected to increase as a result of NZ’s ageing population.

The Superannuation Fund was created by the NZ Superannuation and Retirement Act 2001 under the fifth Labour Government, and is colloquially known as the "Cullen Fund".

It will be interesting to hear about the Fund’s investment decision making. If you have any question for Mike Frith or Alice Mew, or issues that you would like addressed send me a PM and I will forward to the organiser
