The Auckland Shareholders association runs regular investor meetups and presentations and had one planned for later this month. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Each event has guest speakers, often CEOs of NZX listed companies as well as other well-known market specialists. The events are a great place to enhance your investing knowledge, meet likeminded people and get an insight that is not normally allowed to retail investors. The shareholders association also does a lot of work to represent your interests as shareholders, they advocate and scrutinise boards, attend annual meetings and send out a regular investing newsletter. For a nominal annual fee, the shareholders association is some of the best value you can get in the markets at the moment.
