Taking a Closer Look at Divestment From Russia

July 04, 2022 • Mindful Money • Season 2 • Episode 11

Are you concerned about whether your money is invested in Russia?

Recently there has been intense concern from the public over whether their money is supporting the Kremlin.

Mindful Money’s analysis showed that hundreds of KiwiSaver and investment funds were still invested in Russian government bonds and companies linked to the Putin regime during the build-up of troops around Ukraine’s border. As a result, the value of their investments has plummeted and their reputations have been damaged.

Join us as we dive deeper into investment in Russia, and the response from the finance industry.

We talked with:

· John Berry, CEO at Pathfinder Asset Management Limited
