Welcome to your latest issue of Investment Insights.
In this issue, we reflect on the first half of 2026 and take a look at some key themes that could shape the rest of the year.
Despite tensions in the Middle East, global share markets delivered a strong second quarter – thanks in large part to the movers and shakers in tech and AI. In our latest quarterly investment update, we explore the key events that influenced markets. We also share our perspective on the month ahead for investors.
With fraud and scams on the rise, we’ve launched a new tool to help protect you. ANZ Caller Check is a new security feature to help you confirm you're speaking with a genuine ANZ staff member on the phone.
Finally, this August is Daffodil Day and across Aotearoa New Zealand, ANZ staff will be fundraising to support the 1 in 3 Kiwi affected by cancer. We’re proud to have partnered with the Cancer Society for more than 36 years, helping them to provide vital care, support and services.
Thanks for your continued support of ANZ. We hope you enjoy the read.
