Research launch: Financial resilience trends in NZ
According to our latest research report, Financial resilience trends in New Zealand: Overconfidence and a perfect (savings) storm, 86% of New Zealanders are reasonably to extremely confident about their finances, an increase of 8% between 2020 and 2022. Yet we argued that this confidence is likely misplaced.
We bust myths about the new financial advice regime
In an effort to encourage more advisers to get on board, we released and busted ten top myths for financial advisers, coinciding with the 2022 FSC Conference, which was focused this year on growing financial confidence and wellbeing in Aotearoa.

We responded to the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2022–23, Platform Economy, and Remedial Matters) Bill introduced to Parliament on 30 August 2022, expressing our view that it has been a "suboptimal outcome" in the midst of a cost of living crisis.
