Why Smart Investors Don’t Panic When Markets Fall

Most Kiwis see wars, inflation, falling markets… and immediately think their investments are in trouble.That’s exactly why this conversation matters.This week on Beat the Bank, we sit down with Alan Clarke — Portfolio Manager, Diversified Funds at Amova Asset Management, and former Co-Head, Diversified Funds at ANZ for more than 15 years — helping investors navigate uncertainty, volatility, and the big decisions that come with it.From global conflicts and rising oil prices to inflation, interest rates, and KiwiSaver balances, Alan breaks down what actually matters — and why reacting emotionally can often do more damage than the downturn itself.For many people, the goal isn’t chasing perfect timing — it’s making better decisions, staying invested, and giving compounding time to do its job.Hosted by Ben Stewart and proudly brought to you by Venture Wealth: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-stewart-cima⁠⁠https://www.venture.co.nz/
