CASE: Sharesies: NZ investment platform Everyday investment company Sharesies was launched in February 2017, after conducting research on New Zealanders’ attitudes towards investing. Prior to launching the company, the co-founders interviewed over 200 people asking them “If I gave you $50 right now, and you had to do something with it in the next 5 minutes what would you do?” Only 5 out of 200 people chose an option to save or invest the $50. More popular options were bills,...

Good for the Gander If $1000 sounds like a lot to pay for a jacket, think about another number: $1.82 billion. That was the market value of Canada Goose, producer of those pricey jackets, when its IPO hit the market in March of 2017. This was the highest valuation of any luxury retailer in the world. Not bad for a company that started in a small warehouse in Toronto in 1957. Entrepreneur and immigrant Sam Tick opened that warehouse more...
