Shared Lunch

“We still see 10–15 deceased estates a week.”
That was one of the more confronting moments from this conversation about wills, investing, and what happens when your wishes aren’t documented.
In this quick bite we cover off some of the big points from our previous episode 'Are you leaving your wealth in limbo?'

What happens to your house, your shares, and even your dog if you don’t document your wishes with a will? With the launch of Sharesies Wills, we’re talking to Tammy McLeod from Davenports Law and Naomi Garry from Sharesies to cover an often-overlooked part of wealth: protecting it for the next generation.
Find out what it means if your estate gets caught up in complex legal probate, and how easy it can be to protect your assets from being split in ways you never intended. Tammy and Naomi explain the avoidance and myths that keep 50% of Kiwis from creating a will, and what the Property Relationships Act means for de facto, separated, and divorced couples.
Learn about common mistakes when choosing an executor, and the rules and pitfalls around life insurance payments and your KiwiSaver balance.
Plus, why offers of a ‘free’ will might be too good to be true.

Legendary finance journalist and author Mary Holm applies her decades of experience to the latest market movements. In the wake of oil shocks and geopolitical conflict, we ask how recent events compare to COVID panic and the generational 1987 crash.
Mary draws on her first-hand knowledge to explain why long-term investing still beats trying to time the market — and why chasing last year's top-performing fund is usually a mistake. We cover the role of bonds, gold, and crypto in diversifying your portfolio, what inflation does to cash returns, and the enduring case for index funds.
Plus, what Mary calls “the most dangerous words in investing”.

Luxury is slowing down globally — with major brands seeing sales dip as consumers pull back on discretionary spending. But Michael Hill’s CEO says the picture isn’t that simple.
We unpack what’s really driving the downturn, from shifting global demand to rising gold prices — and why “accessible luxury” could still be a winning strategy.
This bite is from our episode ‘Pressure makes diamonds: Michael Hill’.
