Investment event recap
July 28, 2025
We were fortunate to have Mark Lister from Craigs Investment Partners as our guest presenter at a recent event co-presented by BFA and Craig's Investment Partners.
Mark delivered an engaging and insightful session, and we’re grateful for the clarity and depth he brought to the discussion.
Together, we explored a range of timely topics, including:
- Market Performance in 2025: A review of how markets have fared so far and what may lie ahead.
- Tariff Tensions: Where global trade relations stand and what they mean for investors.
- Economic Outlook: A snapshot of both the global and local economies.
- Inflation & Interest Rates: Whether inflation is finally under control and the implications for interest rates.
- Long-Term Investment Strategies: A few tried-and-true approaches to building sustainable growth.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how these insights apply to your personal investment strategy, we’d be delighted to have the conversation - you can have a chat with your Client Advisor, or contact us here.
