Seen a public figure promoting an investment online?

It might look real but it could be a deepfake.

Scammers are using AI to create convincing fake videos to promote investment scams. Watch for signs like odd facial movements, glitchy visuals, or voices that sound slightly off.

If something feels off, pause. Check trusted sources and see if it’s shared on official channels before you act.

Is too much diversification possible?

Diversification reduces risk by spreading it across investments.

In some cases, very broad diversification can smooth results so individual stand‑out performers matter less.
What’s “right” depends on your goals, timeframe, and overall situation.

Not sure if your KiwiSaver is set up or up to date? You’re not alone.

Take a couple of minutes to check your provider, update your details, and make sure you’re on the right tax rate.
Future you will thank you.

Seen an investment video on social media? Be careful.

Scammers are using AI generated deepfake videos of public figures to promote fake investments. These videos may look polished but that doesn’t mean they’re genuine.

Pause and check for:
• Unrealistic returns
• Urgency or secret “one time” offers
• Requests to move the conversation to private messages

Protect yourself by verifying the source before you invest.
