The crypto world has come a long way since Bitcoin's inception. From the early hype of altcoins to the rise of decentralised finance, crypto is rapidly evolving, challenging concepts of money and finance. Today, crypto is increasingly mainstream with a growing list of traditional financial institutions offering crypto products, such as exchange-traded crypto funds approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
One of the key players in this space is Binance. Founded in 2017, Binance quickly became a dominant force in the crypto industry, establishing itself as the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange and processing an impressive $76 billion in trades daily.
This week, we're excited to welcome Ben Rose, the General Manager for Binance in Australia and New Zealand. We'll be discussing Binance's role in the crypto market, the evolution of the sector, and Ben's insights on the future of crypto. -

Inflation, the invisible thief, reduces the purchasing power of your money. As the cost of living increases over time, it can be a challenge to preserve the value of your savings. To address this, NZ Funds maintains the Inflation Category, a portfolio series with investments specifically selected for their ability to grow earnings above inflation over the long run. This includes global and domestic investments across infrastructure, utilities and property.
This week Mark Brooks, Chief Investment Officer, and Casey Keiper, Portfolio Manager, at NZ Funds will join Stephan Clark for a deep dive into the Inflation Category. They will discuss the role of inflation assets and defensive shares in a well-constructed diversified portfolio, explain how NZ Funds invests to mitigate the impact of inflation, and share case studies from NZ Funds' Inflation Category.
Join us for this insightful discussion on a topic front of mind for investors over recent years.

We ask why the outlook for hard commodities is increasingly favourable, especially for copper? What positive steps is the Chinese Government exploring to tackle its property issues and sluggish economy? Why United States-based companies increasing their capital expenditure is a sign of optimism? And why is business activity in New Zealand even weaker than the headlines suggest?
