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 - 15 DECEMBER 2025
💭OPINION
It still seems almost inconvincible to me that a single man with three young children in tow, would melt away into the bush over a lengthy period and avoid all attempts to locate him. Where was the army, the SAS, the best of our best. It would be interesting to know the full story if it were ever released, there’s more to this mystery!
💎GEM
Only 10 more days until Christmas folks! 🎄
💡SPOTLIGHT
Sydney’s Bondi terror attack. Too close to home and our thoughts go out to all the families and friends that have been impacted by those who died and have been injured.
TOPICAL
Minimum wage to rise by 2%.
Minimum wage workers will get a pay increase from 1 April 2026 next year after the Government announced it would go from $23.50 to $23.95. Why didn’t they just round it off to $24.00, would have made the maths a lot easier!
📊OF INTEREST
Whilst the Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate at its most recent review, two banks have since increased their rates. That is the Westpac and Co-Operative Bank, looks like we might be at the bottom, and if that’s the case, it might be time to nail down all your fixing for as long as you can.
📈THE MARKETS
Despite Trump’s disruptive and “all over the place” policy to the US tariffs imposed it would seem that NZ exporters appear to have coped pretty well with the first six months. Westpac recently released some research to say that many of our sectors had felt that it was manageable. About 70% of the NZ exports to the US had been affected by 15% tariffs.
Blackrock one of, if not, the worlds biggest investment fund manager are estimating equity returns for the next 10 years to be in the range of 5% to 6%, so this is about 5% down on what returns have been for the past 10 years when you adjust the tax and fees.
