In this episode, Brent Allcock, our Financial Adviser at Stewart Group in Wellington, reminds us that some of the most powerful financial lessons often come from Mums!

Research consistently shows that women tend to make smarter investment decisions. They’re more likely to:


  • Prioritise long-term outcomes over short-term gains
  • Set ego aside when making financial choices
  • Seek advice when needed


So, what can we learn from the timeless wisdom of “Mum knows best” when it comes to money? Tune in to the podcast to find out!


Check out the article by our CEO, Nick Stewart, that was published in Hawke’s Bay Today and NZ Herald Online: "Mum Knows Best: Financial Lessons from Our Mothers."
