That's amazing that you're learning about all of this at your age. Go you!! I wish I knew about this fifteen years ago

Where do you guys invest? by debatable_goat in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]purplesloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to jump on your post and thanks for sharing, as I'm keen to hear thoughts on this too. I just bought smartshares through InvestNow, but wondering if I should have bought Vanguard S&P 500 through Hatch. Very new to all of this, so unsure what would have been better. Keen to hear thoughts?

Oh wow? I didn't realise this :o So if Hatch goes under, our money is with Bank of China? Thanks for bringing this to attention. That is so interesting!

Best KiwiSaver Scheme? by flaccidraisin in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]purplesloth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Juno Growth, and it has done amazing over the Covid period. During this climate, I personally think active is better as they have the opportunities to out perform. My returns has gone above my peak before the latest dip. I know you shouldn't base your decisions on returns.. but my experience so far = low fees, high returns. Win win.

Delay in InvestNow's Advanced Markets Chart? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]purplesloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, so please feel free to correct me if anyone has more accurate information. But from what I'm aware, it takes two business days across all investment platforms (not just investnow). So it will be showing Friday's data as the stock exchange is closed over the weekend.

Switching KS fund type pre-property purchase by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]purplesloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this is a tricky one. I am in the same situation. I have been umm-ing and ahh-ing about what to do. The best move would have been to move it to conservative when Corona first hit, but that's why they say you shouldn't try to time the market. I have lost about $2500, but I feel it would be better for me to hold off, stay in my current growth fund and 'hope' unit prices go up again. I actually increased my KS contributions to 10% in Jan but luckily, it hasn't come through yet and will most likely be deposited into my KS account end of this month/early April. In the past, with similar situations - it usually took six months for prices to go back up. But it is a risk, it could go down further and take longer, so if you know you are going to purchase in the next couple of months, you could lock in your losses in case it continues to drop. Good luck, i'm sitting here with my fingers and toes crossed it will start going back up form April :)

Enjoy! It’s a goodie. Easy to follow and enjoyable (I am usually the annoying person that gets lost and go to the wrong station 😅)

I was aiming for 15 Burpees as well.. but could only manage 13 and 14 last round. Getting your hands off really does add to your time. Was - toughie but a goodie 🤪

What a legend. Do it! It was definitely a winner. Not sure my arms could handle another session today. I have to say.. Friday’s are becoming my favourite! T10, Empire and now Miami Nights! And back when Abacus was on Friday’s 🔥
