Question Title

* 27. Alternative views: Please describe where you sit on the spectrum of 'mainstream to alternative' views as it relates to investing.

I don't understand this question or prefer not to answer

I'm happy with brands partnering with the NZ Everyday Investor as long as it's clear that they are contributing financially towards the costs.

Up to $1k a year

I wouldn't be interested
