Rothbury Life Becomes Lifetime
Rothbury Life Becomes Lifetime
Rothbury Life are excited to announce our new name - Lifetime. After a merger with Lifetime in 2016, and since with Camelot in 2018, we are all unifying under the name ‘Lifetime’ and our ethos of ‘Advice For Life’.
With a team totalling over 160 people in 16 centres nationwide, we are now one of the country’s largest financial advisories. Together, we share a focus on creating greater financial certainty for all our clients, building on the strong foundation each company brings.
So what does this mean for you as a client?
Little will change and all your existing services remain in place. We still have the same friendly and experienced team of advisers in the same locations. We are now able to offer even more depth to your financial planning, with personalised investments advice such as managed portfolios, KiwiSaver and planning for your goals around retirement and legacies. We can also assist with UK Pension and Australian Super transfers.
Rothbury Insurance Brokers remain our nationwide strategic partners for general insurance such as property and business insurances. We will keep working closely with them to deliver outstanding service to you.
If you have any questions around the name change, or the new services we can offer, we’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for your continued business and loyalty, we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Market & Portfolio Update - January 2026
After strong gains in 2025, the global share market (represented by the MSCI World Gross Index) took a breather in January, returning 0.1% in NZ dollar terms. While the ‘Magnificent 7’ (the seven largest US-listed companies, including Google, Microsoft & Apple) have been large drivers behind the recent gains seen from the US share market, January told a different story. There appeared to be ‘catch-up’ trade where investors moved out of concentrated tech positions and into the rest of the market, with the Russell 2000 index (a widely regarded proxy for smaller US companies) having a strong month. This was generally seen as improving confidence in the broader US economy.
