Simplicity member webinar: What do the new US tariffs mean for NZ?

Markets were already unsettled leading up to the US tariff announcement, and have fallen further in response. Understandably, there’s growing concern about the potential for wider trade tensions and how this might impact the global economy. So what does this mean for your KiwiSaver and investments? And for New Zealand?

We held a webinar at 12pm on Monday 7 April, where our Chief Economist Shamubeel Eaqub and Chief Investment Officer Andrew Lance discussed how markets are responding and how to think about your long-term investments during uncertain times like these. They also answered member questions.
