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.
PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 28 OCTOBER 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. Canterbury takes out the NPC title over Otago with a sell out crowd, so this Trophy will sit nicely next to the Super Rugby Trophy.
2. The Silver Ferns win the third of four games against Australia and keep the series alive for the last game in Christchurch this Wednesday, should be a cracker!
3. Joseph Parker beaten in the weekend on his quest to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO world boxing crown. The question is will he ever get another chance now?
THE PACESETTER - 28 OCTOBER 2025
🔥HOT TOPIC
Our thoughts are with all those whose properties were affected by the winds last week. Despite plenty of warnings, it’s never enough to escape the harsh realities of Mother Nature.
💡SPOTLIGHT
Whilst it’s a holiday for most of us, do we all know the origins of the division of time into 8 hours of work, 8 hours of leisure, and 8 hours of sleep? The founder of Labour Day was a man called Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter. And don’t you just love a short week!
💭OPINION
Our Teachers and Nurses all willing and wanting to strike over dissatisfaction on their pay and work conditions. But where is the Government going to get the money to pay them? The only current avenue is to borrow and that is clearly not an avenue given the state of the Governments books.
💎GEM OF THE WEEK
Has to be the short working week!
🏉SPORTIFY
Netball New Zealand confirms Dame Noeline Taurua’s return as Silver Ferns coach, but shouldn’t the board now be standing themselves down after the debacle that has played out?
📊OF INTEREST
Will home loan rates drop below 4%? Some of you will be hoping for such a drop, but let’s be honest, the catalyst for further reductions would mean our economy is still chugging along, and that can’t be good for anybody.
❓QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What does Peter Beck New Zealand’s own billionaire and founder of Rocket Lab do to unwind from a day that starts at 4:30am and finishes around 10–11pm?
He indulges in fast things cars, choppers, planes, and jets, where he says, “These activities need your 100% focus, so you can’t think about work.”
📈THE MARKETS
Just how small is New Zealand in a financial sense compared to the global pool of potential investments? Here’s the answer: just 0.12%. What’s interesting is that the New Zealand Super Fund holds 11% of its investments in New Zealand, but it has to, doesn’t it? Otherwise, who would be investing here?
OCR 2.5% ↓ October 2025
CPI 2.7% ↑ June 2025
Unemployment 5.2% ↑ June 2025
House Price Movement 2.3% ↑ July 2024
Rent Price Movement 4.3% ↑ July 2024
AND IT’S NOW ONLY 58 days to go until Christmas. 🎄
