Cash is gunna be king when the next crash happens.
Be very careful if your cash is in New Zealand when the crash comes. NZ is one of the few countries without any government guarantees on bank accounts. I think that you will find that cash in an NZ bank account in the event of a market wide crash will see cash deposit holders taking a haircut. I expect a threshold on this so that those with cash assets of under $10,000 or so would not be affected. But if you wish to park your investment cash in NZ bank accounts, I would advise you to spread that cash around amongst multiple banks.

I wonder if that haircut would apply to your ANZ Securities account, soon to be a FNZC cash management account? Technically not a bank account?
I would have thought that once FNZC take over, your cash management account is no longer a bank account in the true sense?
I think ANZ will still effectively run a bank account for FNZC. In the terms and conditions I seem to recall that FNZC will take a slice of the interest that ANZ will pay on the account.

You forgot to mention Gold. From time to time I think about buying a gold bar or Two. If concerned about security it could be buried in the garden much like a dog buries a bone.
Maybe one for the garden and one as a paper weight for the office.
