In the first of two parts on what investors need to know in 2026, we discuss a world preoccupied with the Trump effect. While markets like Japan and Europe outperformed the States last year, Craigs Investment Director Mark Lister and KiwiBank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr explain why the US remains a major force. Closer to home, they outline how NZ is getting off its knees and into recovery mode. Is tech and AI concentration in the US S&P 500 something to be concerned about? Are lower interest rates leading to a broader recovery at home beyond dairy? What are the sectors to watch this year? Plus, investing in alternative assets as gold’s record-breaking run continues.

Everyone wants to give their kids the best start in life, and investing for them feels like the obvious answer… right up until the tax rules turn the whole thing into a mental no go zone. So how do you set your kids up financially without accidentally handing a chunk of it to the ATO, overcomplicating your life, or creating a problem you’ll have to untangle later? This episode is all about how to invest in the share market for your kids in a way that actually makes sense. We talk through how to choose the right setup for your family, the strategies that can legally minimise tax (Spoiler alert: Those tax rules might might be as scary as you think, once you see the numbers), and why the way you invest now can shape how your kids think about money as adults. If you care about giving your kids a real financial head start, this episode is a must listen. In this ep:
When do you stop going it alone with your money—and start getting advice? How do you know if you actually need a financial advisor, and how do you find one you can trust? In the final episode of the Wealth Kick, we’re talking about what happens when DIY can only get you so far. We cover when it makes sense to bring in professional help, what green flags (and red flags) to look for in an advisor, and how good advice can give you clarity, confidence, and momentum. Financial advisors Billy and Ed Glennie share what you should expect from a first meeting, Reagan White explains why an objective third set of eyes changed everything for him, and Sharesies co-CEO Brooke Roberts joins us to wrap up the series with a broader take on what “wealth” really means. This is the seventh and final episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year.

Now what? You’re not a beginner anymore, but you’re not a trader either. You’ve been investing for a while, and you understand the fundamentals—what comes next? Is it time to get more complicated, or just set and forget? In this episode of the Wealth Kick, we explore a new money problem: the question of how to progress your investing. We’re talking about research and risks, consistency vs. curiosity—and whether you should be getting hands-on or staying at arm’s length. Financial advisor Ed Glennie, Ruth Henderson from The Happy Saver, and Sharesies co-CEO Brooke Roberts give us their takes on what it means to be a more “advanced” investor.

Last time you heard from us, we talked budgets—how to stop feeling trapped and build a budget that suits you. Today’s episode is a little different: an extra chapter to tell one guy’s story. We return to Reagan White from Where’s My Money with a tale of brutal interest rates and a mortgage that suddenly feels way less manageable. Reagan shares how close he came to losing everything—and how budgeting became a life raft to get back to safety.

Do we all really need a budget? And if we do… why does it feel so intimidating (and kind of boring)?In this episode, we’re reframing budgeting as something a little less restrictive—and a lot more useful. You’ll hear why budgets aren’t about rules, and how a good budget can actually help you say yes to more of the awesome stuff in life. We chat to Reagan White from Where’s My Money about how getting real with the numbers helped him avoid financial panic, and we ask Ruth Henderson (aka The Happy Saver) whow your personality can shape the kind of budget that actually sticks—especially when you’re budgeting with someone else. Plus, we’ve got a simple activity to help you plan for those sneaky annual expenses (hello birthdays and Christmas) before they sneak up on you again.

If you’ve ever told yourself investing is something you’ll get to later, when you have more money, more brain space, or a slightly more put-together life… this episode is about to ruin all of those excuses in the best way. Today, the one and only Bec Syed has volunteered to jump into the Investing Diaries seat so we can get pervy on her first year as an investor (and yes, it’s exactly as Bec-coded as you’d expect). She walks us through how she went from not really understanding what investing even was, to building an almost $1,500 investment portfolio in the background of her very normal, but very chaotic life. (Yep, we're so proud of her too!) We get into what it actually looks like to invest when you don’t have heaps of spare cash, why round-ups and automation are a game changer, and how seeing tiny wins along the way completely changed how money feels. In her lovable Bec way she's honest about the confusion, the questionable decisions, the accidental wins, and the fact that she still very much learning as she goes. It’s proof that you don't have to have it all figured out when it comes to investing, you just need to start. And if Bec can do it… honestly, so can you.

If you’ve been saying “I really should start investing" this episode is for you. Because wanting to invest and actually investing are two very different things. And for most of us, it’s not laziness or lack of ambition that keeps us stuck. It’s the quiet spiral of I don’t know enough yet... or I don’t have enough money... or what if I pick the wrong thing... and what if I mess it up. This episode takes all of that and changes it to confidence, because Victoria is breaks down exactly how she’d start investing in 2026 if she had to begin again with nothing. Inside this ep:
It’s not a phrase you hear every day. In this summer highlight, Sharesies’ Susanna Batley explains the idea of “strategic mediocrity” — a way of thinking about performance, consistency, and why the biggest long-term winners often aren’t the standouts in any single year.

As 2025 wraps, how are we set up for the year to come? We welcome economic experts Shamubeel Eaqub, Chief Economist at Simplicity, and Paul McBeth from the Bottom Line, to review a strange year in the markets. Why was the market’s reaction to trade tariffs so unpredictable? Why has market commentary been so pessimistic lately, even as Wall Street approaches new records? Why has NZ’s economy remained sluggish while share markets rose abroad? Has the property investing market learned its lesson? Hear Shamubeel’s theory that it’s been a humbling year for market commentators, and Paul's thoughts on the surprising strength of NZX small caps and Freightways.

We're in Sydney with Oleg Vornik, CEO of DroneShield, makers of radio-frequency technology to detect and take down small, hostile drones across 50 countries. While defence demand is rising, airports, data centers, and infrastructure facilities are also looking for protection against small drones used for surveillance, cyber threats, and sabotage. Learn how DroneShield built the world's largest drone signal library, why simply shooting down drones isn’t viable, and why they’re moving to "micro AI" on tiny, self-learning devices. Hear about the “cat and mouse game” between counter-drone developers and drone manufacturers, constantly innovating to avoid detection.

Could open banking finally create real competition for money services—beyond the banks? We’re talking to Ben Lynch, who left Xero to found Akahu, the open finance intermediary pushing to change the balance of power between banks, their customers, and their competitors. This episode explores how open banking aims to democratize your financial data, letting fintech businesses innovate and become a “bank without being a bank”. Hear about Ben’s battle to bring the new Consumer Data Right into law, giving individuals more meaningful ownership of their personal information—the foundation of open banking. We discuss how this legislation forces banks to use APIs (application programming interfaces) to share data, and creates more space for disruptors like Sharesies to offer consumers choice. Plus, hear the story of how Ben used a tweet to get his foot in the door at Xero.

We sit down with Comvita Chair Bridget Coates to talk about the critical vote shareholders are facing on a 80-cent-per-share takeover offer. With a 75% majority vote required and two major shareholders already backing the deal, this is a pivotal moment for Comvita and its investors. The iconic mānuka honey company and global market leader has faced significant financial pressure in recent years due to industry oversupply, price and demand volatility, and balance sheet challenges. Despite restructuring efforts, the Board of Comvita is now recommending shareholders accept the offer from private health and wellness bidder Florenz. We cover the mānuka honey industry's struggles, why previous recapitalisation attempts haven't been enough, and what's at stake if the scheme fails. And what the future might hold for this nearly 50-year-old Kiwi brand under private ownership.

Richard Thompson, Air NZ CFO, joins us to discuss the headwinds facing our national carrier. With engine disruptions pushing costs skyward and grounding sections of the fleet, and up against a tough economy, Richard explains why he remains confident in Air NZ’s future. Why are the new engines from Rolls-Royce lasting only a quarter of their normal maintenance cycle? How do unseen costs like extra inventory play into the engine crisis? How does a weak NZ dollar impact the cost of US parts and materials? And why has the airline chosen this troubled time to carry out a $100 million share buyback? Plus, how rising costs of entry—including pricey visas and a conservation levy—have become a "friction point" for our visitors.

Is crypto going mainstream? Dave Ripley is co-CEO of long-standing global crypto exchange Kraken, service provider to Sharesies Crypto. In this episode, crypto “dinosaur” Dave tells us how he’s seeing signs that the financial establishment is ready to embrace digital assets. Dave explains why crypto is a hot topic for lawmakers in Washington, while Texas, Wyoming, and nations like El Salvador are buying Bitcoin, and the US Department of Commerce is adopting blockchain. Why does Dave believe that AI is, by nature, the "exact opposite" of crypto? How does tokenisation work, and why does he say it could change property investing? Hear about Kraken’s “paranoid” dedication to security—and how Dave sees banks, brokers, and fintechs around the world rushing to offer crypto.

Is the market in a bubble? With US exchanges seeing record highs, AI hype still soaring, and a recent US Federal Reserve rate cut, it’s a question some investors are asking. In this episode, we get Scott Phillips’ views on identifying an expensive share price vs a worthy buy—based on his experience as The Motley Fool’s Chief Investment Officer, Advisor, and Portfolio Manager.
