For Angela Jackson, knowing her mum’s wishes made it a lot easier when she passed. Her mother, Marie-Louise, had planned her funeral, chosen all the music and flowers, picked her coffin, and specified the location of her burial. “It was very empowering for Mum, but it was also meaningful for us,” Angela says.

We know cyber threats keep many business leaders up at night. So what can we do to mitigate these risks?  Our Corporate Trustee Services team hosted a webinar during Cyber Smart Week on cyber resilience and lessons learnt from the recent CrowdStrike outage.  "Be comfortable being uncomfortable," recommended Hamish Krebs from CyberCX. Hamish spoke about navigating through a crisis and how to boost resilience. Having a business continuity plan was essential, as was being adaptable and agile, he said.    Andrew Horne from MinterEllisonRuddWatts spoke of the implications and impacts of big outages, covering regulatory obligations, financial losses, insurance, contractual and legal issues. Cyber events could bring about a "complex web of losses and claims," he said, so it is important to be prepared. Hamish K. | Andrew Horne | David Callanan

How do you get maximum cut-through of your adverts and messages in what can be a competitive space, all the while keeping within regulations and looking out for investors’ interests? Advertising financial products, including managed funds and KiwiSaver, brings challenges and it’s a hot topic in the industry. In light of this, Public Trust’s Corporate Trustee Services (CTS) team hosted a webinar on the creativity opportunities to reach investors, and how to navigate the regulations. Marcus McMillan Jaspreet Kaur and Iskandar Onn from the Financial Markets Authority - New Zealand spoke about the guidance and regulations, the subjectivity often involved, and the need to focus on customer outcomes when it comes to incentives. Storytelling was a key ingredient, said Steve Kane Group Managing Director of creative agency Ogilvy NZ. Generating an emotional response was more important than ever when it comes to the advertising of financial products, he said. Hosted by David Callanan, the webinar also outlined Public Trust’s role as supervisor, and Marisa Tucker and Elena Vinton explained the importance of strong governance systems and processes. Thank you to our excellent guest speakers and those who joined us in this valuable industry discussion. #150yearsofPublicTrust #CTS #trusteeservices #kiwisaver #financialplanning #managedfunds #governance #supervisor #custody

Public Trust helps Kiwi from Northland down to Invercargill, and many places in between, big and small.  This month, our people have been in Wairoa, a town of about 5,000 people, holding an info session on wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs) with Wairoa District Council employees.  Pictured is James Weitz, Hastings Principal Trustee, who said it was great to visit the community and help answer questions about estate planning.  “It was a good chance for us to make our products and services more accessible to people in a more rural area of New Zealand,” he says.

Last year over 28,000 students were protected through Public Trust’s Fee Protect service. This service is the most widely used in New Zealand, with fees held in trust for over 200 training providers. Fee Protect is one of the many ways our team helps support and protect Kiwi at different life stages, including while studying. Chris Moore and Tracy Hayes represented Public Trust at the annual Independent Tertiary Education NZ (ITENZ) conference, with Chris doing a 45-second ‘Turbo Pitch’. “Many of the members of ITENZ are Fee Protect customers of ours, so it is a great event to be able to connect with customers in person, as well as gain further insights into where the education industry is heading and headwinds they are facing,” Chris, Fee Protect Manager, says.
