Would you take a guaranteed £50,000 or flip a coin for £1,000,000 — what did the YouGov poll find?
Would you flip a coin for a million or take a guaranteed 50,000? There is a gender split shock horror between the men versus the women who take a risk when it comes to their money. And we're going to talk about the study and why it's so important that we all choose to flip the coin.
There's a new trend of billionaires actually deciding to buy land and property in New Zealand. But this might not necessarily be the influx of money that you're going to want because it could push the everyday person that lives in New Zealand out of the property market.
AI has literally hacked its way out of a closed environment test. The whole thing is kind of scary. Feels like a freaky movie. We're going to talk about what is happening with the top seven AI tech stocks and why has Apple become the most valuable of all of them.
And finally, LVMH is on the way back up thanks to Dior. So we're going to be talking about the Lady D bag and whether Sophie likes it. And secondly, why it all comes down to maybe the branding. This is the Curve Weekly where we read the finance news so that you don't have to. I'm Abbey Foster. I'm a child accountant, finance content creator and presenter.
And I'm Sophie Paul-Wright, ex-radio TV producer who was very exhausted not understanding the economy or anything to do with money or investing. So we started this podcast. But before we dive into the headlines, a quick word from today's sponsor.
This episode of The Curve Weekly is made possible by Pathfinder KiwiSaver plan, helping you invest alongside your values.
Pathfinder's one mindful money, best ethical investing provider for five years running. So we've teamed up with them to bring you the ethical hotline. Got questions about the ethics of an investment or unsure where you draw the line? Submit your questions via the link in the podcast show notes. And thank you so much to Pathfinder for making this episode of The Curve Weekly possible. Pathfinder Asset Management Limited is the issuer of the Pathfinder KiwiSaver plan. A product disclosure statement is available at pathfinder.kiwi. Okay, at the time we're recording this, it's official. The Curve Fund is now live. We don't have enough people in this studio. No, it's very exciting. I don't know if you can hear the clapping, but this has been a huge, there's been honestly so much work that's gone into this.
So for everyone that's worked on this behind the scenes, the team at, you know, the Curve, outside of the Curve, even Abby, you helping fill in on the podcast, there's just been so much happening. So I just wanted to say congrats to everyone and thank you to everyone for the support and making it happen. It's outrageous to think that people can now invest with us. Did you see our little trailer video that went out? Yes. So exciting. What do you think? Oh, it's lovely. You guys are always going to do something really cool. Oh, God. Okay. But I mean, we're very, I think everyone's very tired, but we're very proud. But if you would like to find out more about the Curve Investments and what we've just launched, you can obviously find it on our socials, but we'll also link to the website in the podcast show notes.
We're going to play the trailer just because why not?
We've been sitting on this for months, our biggest announcement ever. We started in a dingy little studio. Recording every few weeks, quietly assuming no one was listening except our parents and maybe our friends. And then one day we looked up at an event and there was 250 women and we didn't know a single person there. You told your friends, your friend told her sister, her sister told her mum. You've been our entire marketing team. And then as the community grew, we launched the Investing Club. Hundreds of you joined, but we kept hearing the same thing. You just wanted to invest alongside us. Mm-hmm. So we've now been talking about investing for years. We've built an incredible community of over 100,000 women around the world.
We can't quite believe we're saying this out loud, but you can now invest with us.
