This is the Monday Call, brought to you by NZ Funds.
It’s about financial markets - where they are now, and where we think they’re headed.
It’s not just about share market movements or changes in bond prices.
It’s about new technologies and crypto assets.
It’s about decarbonisation, commodities, and how geopolitical events can change the direction of the global economy.
Every week, we talk to the innovators and commentators, the fund managers and headline makers, to gain insights into the new market realities.
It’s a global view of finance from a uniquely New Zealand perspective, keeping Kiwi investors and financial advisers up to date with the latest market news.

Thoughts on the market
2024 started strongly for major share markets, with the S&P 500, Nikkei 225, and EuroStoxx 50 all posting double-digit returns in the first quarter. Rising commodity prices point to ongoing global growth. Although inflation is persisting more than central banks would like, it is trending down, which is fostering optimism about interest rate cuts.
Mark Brooks, Chief Investment Officer at NZ Funds, and Stephan Clark, Chief Client Officer, discuss how NZ Funds is positioning client portfolios to capture the opportunities while managing the risks of today’s dynamic environment and why New Zealand remains an important part of a diversified portfolio. -

Is residential property gearing up for a comeback?
The residential housing market looks to be turning a corner after a longer period of sluggishness. Market forces are tugging in different directions. On the one front, low levels of new builds and surging population growth are pushing upwards on prices, while on the other, higher interest rates and continued unaffordability are applying the brakes.
This week, we make sense of the data with Nick Goodall, Head of Research at Core Logic. Will property prices take off again? Has housing affordability improved? Is it investors re-entering the market? And what new policies do the Reserve Bank and the new Government have planned? Join us to find out from one of New Zealand’s most prominent property experts. -
