“You know the saying that ‘every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in’? Well, we want you to have some more votes so we can start building that world. More money for women translates to more influence. And that’s gotta be a good thing.” - P.M.S podcast host Michèle A’Court.
Introducing a new podcast series, P.M.S - redefining Power, Money, Security for women.
Over the past few weeks we’ve learned that anyone who has a KiwiSaver account is already an investor - and with employer matching contributions, it may double the amount being invested. But we’ve also learnt that additional investment practices are needed to help women overcome the ‘trifecta of misery’ and ensure they can retire as comfortably as men.
Enter today’s guests - Kylie Willment, Pacific Chief Investment Officer at Mercer and Simran Kaur from the hugely popular podcast, Girls that Invest. Both are women on a mission to make investing less daunting by demystifying many of the concepts and jargon of the investing world.
“It was so much easier than I expected. And I was almost mad at how simple the stock market is,” says Simran about her first forays into the market. “I’d spent my whole life seeing it as this thing men in suits do, and you think, that’s not for me.”
Simran and Kylie talk to host Michèle A’Court through jargon and terminology, give tips on how to invest as little as $1, explain the importance of ethical investing and so much more.
