New Zealand Bogleheads Local Chapter

Post by Mel Lindauer »

Hi Everyone:

I've been contacted by someone who has agreed to lead a new Local Chapter in New Zealand.

Anyone interested? If so, post here and when we get four more New Zealand Bogleheads, we'll get your Chapter up and running.

Yes! I was involved with the San Diego chapter and now that I've moved to New Plymouth on the North Island, I would love to join a local New Zealand chapter. :sharebeer

KiaOra,

I am currently not in NZ. But if I move back to NZ, I would absolutely love to join the Local Chapter.

On another note, is Smartshares the best way to invest in NZ if someone wants to follow the Bogleheads principles of low cost index investing?

Thanks.

OK, we're up to four. All we need is one more and someone who agrees to be the Local Chapter Coordinator to communicate with the members about meeting dates, times, locations, agendas, etc.

If someone wants to volunteer for that, simply PM me and we'll get your group established.'
