It's No Secret

45. How Do I Know If My Investments Are "Safe"?


Listen Later

Where and how you decide to invest your money can be a big decision for many. So, it's important to consider all the factors that could affect the safety (or security) of your investments – including those in the fine print.

In this episode we cover:

  • A few common investing myths when it comes to the security of your money. e.g., Can I trust that my money is safer with an older investment platform (since they've been around longer) vs a younger company? 
  • Whether the investment or KiwiSaver provider you are invested with “steals” your money as the share markets go up and down
  • How to find out if an investment platform/company is legitimate (inc. some handy resources from the FMA!)
