WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS


The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".


Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer. 


When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.

THE PACESETTER - 21 JULY 2025


🔥HOT TOPIC

The Air India mystery intensifies, with speculation mounting over whether the deadly June Air India crash was malicious.


💡SPOTLIGHT

All our pantry staples are up across the board, but what’s hurting?


🥛 Milk is up 14.3%.
🧈 Butter? A whopping 46.5%.
🧀 Cheese is up 30%.

Even the old sausage ‘snarler’ is above the average price increase. No wonder the cost of living is biting!


💭OPINION

The Cost of Super. Why not have another opinion on it, simply because if we don’t act soon what does the future hold for our aging population? We need some discussions from both our Government parties to get to a compromise. Perhaps those in power should have focused on the maths at school rather than debating and social studies!


❓QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Are we New Zealanders being ripped off by credit and debit card surcharges?


💎GEM OF THE WEEK

“Hard work is the yeast that raises the dough.”


🏉SPORTIFY

A 3 nil series win over France. Whilst a nice start to this year’s All Black campaign. The challenge is, will we be strong enough to confront South Africa?


📊OF INTEREST

The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) released research last week noting that there has been a significant shift in risk of KiwiSaver investments. They note the proportion of KiwiSaver funds that are in risk category five with high volatility has quadrupled from 10% in 2021 to more than 40% in 2024.


📈THE MARKETS

This last week Trade Me released data which showed the national average salary is now $73,823 an uplift on the previous year.


In that same report they have seen significant change to businesses as they restructured during the current downturn and consider the impact of AI.


Finally, something positive to read, surging exports, lower interest rates and less worry about tariff turmoil has led to economies consulting Infometrics to double its growth forecasts for the economy for 2026.
