⚠️ Investment Scam Alert ⚠️

The FMA has warned of pump-and-dump scams targeting New Zealanders via group chats like WhatsApp. Scammers are impersonating trusted investment figures -including Harbour’s Shane Solly - to promote fake opportunities with promises of high returns and low risk. Scams like this appear to be on the rise.

If you see posts relating to this please do not click – instead, report it as a scam.

🔒 Please note we will never:

❌ Call, text, or email asking for your passwords or PINs
❌ Offer "guaranteed" investments or quick money schemes
❌ Pressure you to act immediately or threaten account closure

If you receive suspicious content from someone claiming to be from anyone from the Harbour team, please stop, verify, and report it. Stay safe – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! 💙

You can report suspicious accounts or messages to National Cyber Security centre (NCSC NZ) so they can investigate. Find out how to report it on the NCSC NZ website

Inflation was the dominant theme for 2022, creating an unenviable backdrop for bond markets as central banks raised rates to try and combat rising inflation. Equity market valuations fell sharply adjusting to higher discount rates.

When we penned our top 10 last year we highlighted the risk of inflation being more persistent, but we would be the first to admit that the magnitude of the increases was harder to foresee, as was the reaction across markets.

Hamish Pepper and Chris Di Leva have once again sat down to consider the top ten risks and opportunities for 2023, and you can check out their thoughts below.

Our friends at Flint Wealth are currently running a promotion that we thought you might want to know about.

To invest you may think you need to meet a significant monetary threshold. However, while Flint’s threshold is normally only $50, for a limited time they will meet you half-way to help get you started on your investment journey. Just top up $25 and they’ll put in $25. The best part is you can then invest that $50 in any of Harbour’s managed funds as they are available through the Flint platform.

We love that platforms like Flint open access to investing and opportunities to grow wealth.
