The New Zealand Shareholders Association was formed in 2001 to clean up poor board and company performance. We are a not-for-profit member-based organisation who actively advocate for the rights of NZ shareholders. Our branches across NZ provide members with speaker events, company visits, investor education and networking opportunities. The greater the number of members in NZSA, the more influence we can exert. NZSA collectively can exert greater influence on companies than an individual investor can hope to achieve. Our contribution has made a significant difference to board governance process, attitudes to shareholders and risk taking.
