• Quick bite: Are investors getting braver?

  Volatility doesn't seem to be scaring off Kiwi investors—could it be teaching us new strategies? In this bonus clip, Susannah Batley from Sharesies & Paul McBeth (The Bottom Line) discuss how investors are adapting to market turbulence by shifting toward ETFs and diversified funds rather than retreating. Does traditional index investing still provide true diversification when a handful of tech giants dominate returns? Could we be seeing a psychological shift with today's retail investors seeing market fluctuations as simply "the price of investing."
