ShareS AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT

The New Zealand Sharemarket provides access to over 200 listed companies including the 50 largest listed companies, whose performance is measured by the NSX 50 Index.

Shares are purchased usually for purposes of growth or income. Growth means that your capital grows through increases in the value of the shares that you buy. Income is earned over time from the dividends paid out to you from a company’s profits.

There are two ways of buying shares. You can either purchase directly through a sharebroker or through the vehicle of a managed fund. There are a lot of things to consider when choosing shares and these should be discussed with your sharebroker.

Yovich & Co cover transactional dealings in shares listed on the New Zealand and Australian Stock Exchanges. We also are able to transact deals with most other major world stock exchanges.

The sharemarket has its ups and downs. However, over the long term (five to ten years), sharemarket returns provide above average growth in comparison to other investment sectors. Adopting a medium to long term view of the sharemarket should assist in realising growth and minimising the impact of short term volatility.

When considering shares, it is important to evaluate the fundamental characteristics of shares in relation to your own circumstances and financial goals. Before you make your decision, it is worthwhile consulting a financial adviser to ensure all options have been thoroughly explored.

Yovich and Co currently have Walter Yovich, Senior Wealth Management Advisor and  a team of support staff.  Our team has many years experience in all matters relating to shares, bonds and other forms of fixed interest.
