Debunk the Myths - with Forsyth Barr & Duncan Cotterill (NELSON)

Learn how to build and protect your investment and assets.

Don’t let myths or misinformation put your financial future at risk - join us for an insightful and practical session designed for investors, professionals, and business owners who want to grow their wealth strategically—while understanding how personal and legal factors can impact long-term success.

What to Expect:
This event will demystify some of the most persistent myths in investing and relationship property law—misconceptions that can limit your progress or expose you to unexpected risks. You’ll walk away with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial & legal decisions, backed by expert insight.

Key topics include:
🔹Common investing myths that hold people back— “I don’t have enough money to start” or “investing in shares is too risky for me”.
🔹When and why you may need a contracting out agreement (a “prenup”) – “ I don’t need a prenup, I have a family trust” or “ we don’t live together so I don’t need to worry about a prenup”.

Expert Speakers:

🗣️Alyce Graf – Forsyth Barr
Investment Adviser Alyce Graf will address common myths and outdated beliefs about investing, and offer clear, actionable strategies to help you build long-term wealth with clarity and purpose.

🗣️Emma Kittelty – Duncan Cotterill
Family & Relationship Property Lawyer Emma Kittelty will address some common myths regarding relationship property, including why your family trust may not be providing the protection you think, and when and why you may need a contracting out agreement (i.e. a “prenup”).
