Riding out market volatility with Mary Holm

Legendary kiwi finance journalist and author Mary Holm applies her decades of experience to the latest market movements. In the wake of oil shocks and geopolitical conflict, we ask how recent events compare to COVID panic and the generational 1987 crash. Mary draws on her first-hand knowledge to explain why long-term investing still beats trying to time the market — and why chasing last year's top-performing fund is usually a mistake. We cover the role of bonds, gold, and crypto in diversifying your portfolio, what inflation does to cash returns, and the enduring case for index funds. Plus, what Mary calls “the most dangerous words in investing”.
