(Interview recorded on 20 October 2026)

 

Paul Brennan, host of Money Talks, is joined by Simon Angelo, editor of Wealth Morning. Here’s what they are discussing this week:

  • Is this a risk-premium moment for the Kiwi dollar? Radical election policies are already being priced in by the market, weakening our currency. However, the return of a centre-right coalition government could ease that pressure and offer strength.
  • What’s the real problem with MMP? Proportional systems are always vulnerable to overhang strategies and decoy parties. To restore business confidence, we need to return to common-sense policies.
  • Are higher oil prices creating a rare opening in global assets? High-quality real estate companies are now trading at a discount, while their underlying businesses remain intact. This could be attractive for value investors hunting for value.
  • Where should capital go over the next five years? Over the long run, incentives — not taxes — will determine which countries pull ahead. Ultimately, the winners of this race will be decided by their ability to create sustainable wealth.
