World Investor Week encourages investors to take the
plunge
The Financial
Markets Authority (FMA) has launched a new campaign for
World Investor Week to help New Zealanders become more
confident investors by addressing some of the uncertainties
around investing. World Investor Week is run by financial
markets regulators around the world to encourage people to
get involved in investing.
The FMA campaign involves a new animation featuring a swimming pool to show some of the common fears around investing. It’s designed to help New Zealanders gain the confidence to dip their toes in the water.
Simone Robbers, FMA Acting Director of External Communications and Investor Capability said: “2.7 million New Zealanders are already investors through KiwiSaver. This campaign encourages people to think beyond KiwiSaver, to learn the basics of investing and address any uncertainty they feel around getting started.”
The
animation covers topics including:
• Do I have
enough to invest?
• What are the risks?
•
Do I know enough to make smart decisions?
The FMA wants
people to think about how they can meet their long-term
goals, including accessing financial advice. The FMA is
working with the CFFC, Financial Advice NZ and NZX to
support World Investor Week.
