  • The Weekly: Shopped at ASOS? Your data could be out there & Victoria’s Secret’s comeback

    Soph and Emma Louise-Boynton get into the ASOS hack, where hackers messaged customers directly through the app after the company wouldn’t pay up. We talk about how these digital ransoms work, why so many businesses quietly hand over the money, and the flaw hiding under 70% of the internet that nearly went very wrong. Plus, the cybersecurity stocks and insurers doing well out of it all. Then we turn to Victoria’s Secret, from Kylie Jenner’s $50 million bra to how the brand clawed its way back after years of decline. Not financial advice.

  • The Weekly: Why Netflix’s shares fell & EssilorLuxottica's best day since 2008

    It’s reporting season, when listed companies hand in their report cards and share prices swing on the results. This week Soph and Vic dig into two of them. Netflix grew its profit by around 43%, yet its shares fell, so what were investors actually reacting to, and why is YouTube now the rival to watch? Then there’s a company you’ve probably bought from without realising: EssilorLuxottica, owner of Ray-Ban, Oakley and Sunglass Hut, whose shares just had their biggest one-day jump since 2008.

    Don’t miss Vic’s money story! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTWLHI9Vjig&t=74s

  • Vic said no to Goldman Sachs and ended up making $400k by 26

    Part two of Meet the Founders. After Soph shared her money story, the requests for Vic's kept coming, so our Producer, Emily, and Digital & Social Manager, Lucy, sat her down for the full version.


    Vic takes us from selling her sister's clothes on Trade Me as a kid to choosing a South America trip over a job offer at Goldman Sachs, then starting out answering phones at Milford Asset Management. She shares the employee share offer she nearly turned down and what it grew into, what she learned as one of the only women in the room, and how her salary went from $45k to over $400k.


    Then it's on to The Curve. She talks about the friends who wouldn't stop telling her to start it, what raising money from investors was really like, her lowest point with money, and why she launched The Curve Investments. She also answers your community questions and gives her advice for anyone on the edge of a big decision.

    Watch Soph’s money story if you haven’t already! https://youtu.be/6NrkbtrC_Qg?si=U4dTbKku2I3XUwF0

  • The Weekly: Bumble's Reverse IPO, LVMH’s Plummeting Shares, & Is a Chanel Bag a Good Investment?

    Bumble was once worth US$14 billion. Now it’s being bought for US$1.3 billion and taken private, and the app built on women going first will be run by two men. Soph and Emma get into what went wrong, what happens to your shares when a company leaves the stock market, and why LVMH shares are down around 40% while Uniqlo keeps breaking records. Plus, is a Chanel bag ever really an investment?

  • The Weekly: AMD’s $1tn month, Warner Bros CEO drama & The Curve Fund is now on Sharesies

    Vic is officially back in New Zealand with big news: The Curve Fund is now live on Sharesies. She explains why September is so often a rough month for markets, the best analogy you’ll hear all year for how AMD became a trillion-dollar company without making a single chip, and why the company everyone should be watching isn’t Nvidia. Plus, how Warner Bros.’ CEO walked away with US$606 million after losing his job, and why stock options are worth asking about next time you negotiate your pay.

  • If he buys you a lab-grown ring, does he still love you?

    Today we're talking lab grown versus natural diamonds, and by the end of it, neither of us landed exactly where we thought we would. Sophie sits down with Martha (@martha.stewish) to unpack where diamonds actually come from, why the cut matters more than the size, and how a 90-year-old marketing campaign convinced generations of women that a natural diamond equals real love.

    We get into resale value, the celebrity engagement rings we assumed were natural, and why some of the richest people you know are quietly choosing lab grown.

  • The Weekly: Sydney Sweeney’s Prediction Market and the Generation Beauty Forgot

    Emma Louise Boynton is back, filling in for Vic. Sydney Sweeney’s “just sports” ad caused a stir, but the bigger story is that she’s an investor in Novig, the prediction market now reportedly worth $2 billion. Soph breaks down how prediction markets work and whether they’re anything more than sports betting. Then Emma brings the story of Sarah Creal, the Victoria Beckham Beauty co-founder who’s just launched a brand in the UK for women over 40, the generation with the most money to spend and the fewest products made for them.

  • The Weekly: Mortgage rates hit 6%, the US$200bn pill race and why we hold on to bad investments

    UK mortgage rates have hit 6% for the first time since Liz Truss’s mini-budget, yet the Bank of England hasn’t raised rates. So who’s pushing them up, and why does it matter even if you don’t own a home?


    With Vic on her way home to New Zealand, our lead investor Nicole Bremner steps in alongside Soph to explain.


    Then, the race to turn weight-loss jabs like Ozempic into a pill. It could more than double the number of people using them, and Nicole shares how to invest in a trend like this without having to pick the one winning drug.


    Plus, a listener is losing money every month on a house she bought with her brother. Nicole has been in the same position with one of her own properties, and explains why so many of us hold on to bad investments for far too long.

  • What’s the ROI on looksmaxxing?

    It’s time to talk about "looksmaxxing," the internet's term for optimising everything about your appearance, and why so many of us are quietly pouring hundreds (or thousands) of dollars every month into it. Soph is joined by Hanna Horvath, author of the money and culture Substack ‘Your Brain on Money’. Together they dig into why Love Island contestants are the extreme end of a spectrum we're all on and why the return on investment for looking good is way blurrier than we like to admit. We also get into the psychology of impulse beauty spending and how to actually start pulling yourself off the hot girl hamster wheel.

  • Why Oura pulled its $15BN IPO + is AI making us dumber?

    First up, Oura was about to go public. It was looking to raise $2.2 billion at a valuation of more than $15 billion, then pulled out at the last minute. We break down what an IPO actually is and why companies wait for a sunny market before they list. Plus, why Oura's subscription model could make it one to watch when it finally does go public.


    Then, Meta's new AI agent Muse can book, buy, and email on your behalf. We reveal how the Curve community is using AI, from budgeting to building apps.

About The Curve

From the publisher's feed

The Curve is a platform to learn more about money. To change the stereotype that these conversations are typically boring, and only for men in suits. Victoria has worked in the finance and investing world for 13 years, and Sophie is a total novice. Learn alongside her as she asks all the questions you're thinking, but might feel a little embarrassed to ask. This podcast will give you all the tools and knowledge to achieve financial freedom, as well as (hopefully) having a laugh along the way.
