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 - 04 AUGUST 2025


🔥HOT TOPIC

T for Tariff. 


💡SPOTLIGHT

Inflation, interest rates, unemployment, a recession, cost of living.

What about some good stories to hear and read about? Watch this space next week!


💭OPINION

Trump is slapping a new “baseline” 15% tariff on goods imported into the US. Australia dodged the hike, staying at 10%, another reason they call Australia the lucky land.


❓QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What does the increase in Trump’s tariffs mean?


While demand for our beef is there, the Aussies are now cheaper. Our farmers were happy to absorb 10%, but 15% will have an impact, so new markets will need to be explored. Of note, New Zealand places virtually no tariffs on any imports.


💎GEM OF THE WEEK

Remember, for some of you, the Car-Less days of the late 1970s?

Not long now until we bring in Butter-Less days!


🏉SPORTIFY

Who is going to be in and who’s going to be out when Scott Robertson names his All Black squad for the Rugby Championship, we all love a bolter or two! 


📊OF INTEREST

You’ve had a hard day at work, and you spend 2 hours at night relaxing—slouched on the couch. Not good. Science says this is shortening your life. Numerous studies have now strongly linked this behaviour to serious chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.


📈THE MARKETS

Amazon profits... in space!
Amazon reported a 35% rise in its quarterly profit last week. Now, 35% is a good number, but wait for it, this converted to a NZD profit of $30.9 billion. No, that is not a typo $30.9 billion.
And who’s the culprit? AI.
