The start of the year is a great time for all investors to consider whether their current investment mix is still suitable – after reviewing their circumstances and any changes that may be needed for future planning.

Auckland, New Zealand -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/16/2015 -- Investors sometimes retain portfolios they haven't reviewed for a number of years. Yes, decisions were appropriate when first put in place. But perhaps personal situations have changed. For instance, an inheritance may have been received, which could have an impact on retirement planning. Perhaps a relationship break-up has significantly reduced overall assets. Or maybe the world economic outlook has led to better opportunities. Any number of matters could have changed since you last reviewed your portfolio. These could significantly affect your time-frame - or indeed your goals.

With an excellent track record in handling past financial crises, New Zealand is a safe haven for investments. Although highly regulated, it has some of the most reliable economic and fiscal policies in the world. When coupled to some of the highest interest rates amongst developed nations, it's little wonder that the country has a reputation as the jurisdiction of choice for investors.

New Zealand's economy grew by 3.4% last year. That was the largest increase in ten years and - according to analysts - the country promises even more growth this year, when the economy is expected to grow by a full 4%. Moreover, New Zealand is expected to be enjoying its first budget surplus in seven years, a remarkable situation, compared with other countries.

New Zealand's favourable position is widely expected to lead to major tax reductions for low and middle income earners, amounting by 2017 to NZ$1.5 billion, together with a prudently controlled debt and a growing economy. It is undoubtedly New Zealand's excellent economic policies that have taken overall business confidence index to a recent high of 30.4. With current fiscal policies likely to continue in the same successful fashion, they indicate a welcome opportunity for the investment community. Shouldn't that include you?

Amongst those taking most advantage of the country's positive business environment is the financial sector. It's already becoming one of the most attractive of all for investment. The NZX50 was up 17.0 per cent last year, a stellar performance, against a 16.5 per cent increase in 2013 and 24.2 per cent in the bumper year before that.

Over the last decade, the New Zealand market has delivered an average annual return of no less than 6.7 per cent. However, the last three years have been exceptional. In 2015, investors remaining alive to the opportunities should expect the same outstanding returns.

Auckland, NZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/01/2014 -- Unlike the situation in the United States and Europe, New Zealand companies more often than not pay out a significant proportion of their earnings as dividends. Consequently, investing in New Zealand feels rather like the "good old days" for many international investors. Investing long term for the dividend income used to be the predominant reason that international investors got involved in shares. But around 1970 the focus became capital growth, a focus that has remained predominant internationally to this day.

One of the good things about New Zealand shares is that paying out a high proportion of earnings to investors has not prevented capital growth. Some of the biggest dividend payers, like banking, utilities and telecommunications groups, have experienced significant growth over the past few decades. They are still doing so. Thus, you could claim – as many experts do - that investing in major New Zealand shares gives you the best of both worlds: great earnings potential plus capital growth.

Strong dividend payments in New Zealand have, in fact, regularly gone hand-in-hand with strong earnings growth. Consequently, although the NZX hasn't always performed quite as well as its U.S. equivalent, in percentage terms New Zealand investors who re-invested their earnings would have had just as good a return, and in many cases a rather better one, than their overseas counterparts.

Many New Zealand investors, too, overlook the impact that dividends have on their portfolios. When the stellar growth in percentage terms that we've seen over the past 5 years slows, as it eventually must, good dividends will contribute greatly to the continued performance of those portfolios.

In short, for many, New Zealand could well represent a 'Back to the Future' opportunity. It should certainly not be overlooked when selecting a share market in which to be involved.
