Craigs Investment Partners’ Mark Lister shares his view on what lies ahead for investors in the current economic climate.
In August, Craigs Investment Partners hosted an economic and market update at the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson. Over 200 guests attended to hear from Craigs’ investment director, Mark Lister, who shared valuable insights and perspectives on the current economic climate.
“It was fantastic to meet our Nelson clients face to face, share my view on how the economy might perform in 2024, if and when interest rates will drop, what the US election might mean for markets, the outlook for shares, fixed income, and other assets, and how investors should be positioned for the remainder of the year,” says Mark Lister.
Local Craigs investment adviser, Jason Craig, shared his enthusiasm for bringing together clients to hear directly from Mark Lister, as well as local charity, Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, which Craigs proudly support. “Brook Sanctuary is one of many organisations that we partner with locally, and we wanted to take the opportunity to share the incredible preservation work they’re undertaking in the environment for the Nelson region,” says Jason.
Ru Collins from Brook Sanctuary is grateful for Craigs’ support. “We’d like to thank Craigs for the opportunity to be part of this event. It’s great to be able to explain what we do – we are the largest fenced sanctuary for endangered plants and creatures in the South Island. We’re grateful for Craigs’ ongoing support, which allows us to continue the work undertaken in the environment to make a difference for our community.”
Investment adviser Tanya McMurtrie is proud to bring this event to the Nelson region. “We’re thrilled to once again host our State of the Nation event, bringing the latest economic insights to the region. This time it’s marking our 40th anniversary.”
