Little Book Of Financial Wisdom

In 2020, the world experienced an unprecedented health and financial storm named COVID-19. After setting new highs in late February, the New Zealand share market fell close to 30% over the following month as the world struggled to absorb and process the potential implications of COVID-19.

Contemplate for a moment the reality of investing in markets. You can spend 30 years acquiring 100% of your wealth and in 30 days see it fall by one-third. Extrapolating that math, you’d be penniless by the time the ski season started.

Lifetime Investment Philosophy

Just like life – your investments can never be 100% predictable (otherwise we’dall be millionaires!) But it’s good to know that experience counts. And here at Lifetime, we have a proven track record of balancing risk with return.

Our investment insights aren’t based on gut feel or ‘hot tips’ – but on rigorous research and measurable evidence built on a solid foundation of expertise. Over time, these have formed a set of fundamental beliefs that have served our clients well.

Lifetime Mortgage Philosophy

Whether it’s your first home, a doer-upper, or a flash penthouse (lucky you!) owning your home is part of the Kiwi dream. And as anyone will tell you, there’s no feeling on earth quite like it. That’s the emotional side of course – but even more important is the financial and structural side.

There’s a lot to think about, and our experts are on the case to explain market trends, lenders, rates, repayments, and more – ultimately get you a better deal.

Lifetime Insurance Philosophy

There are many aspects of building a business that must be carefully considered. A few key aspects include establishing start-up costs, funding expansion and growth, taking care of your staff, as well as protecting yourself against disasters and other interruptions.

While it is common practice to insure buildings and assets, it can be less obvious to remember the vital part that key staff and pre-existing financial commitments play in running your business.
