David Chaplin

Investment News NZ is a David Chaplin production.

David is a trusted financial services journalist with over 25 years’ experience covering the investment, superannuation and advice industries in both Australia and New Zealand.

In addition to publishing the weekly editions of Investment News since 2015, David contributes a regular think-piece to the New Zealand Herald-owned BusinessDesk website.

Over a seven-year stint ending in August 2015, he also produced bi-weekly columns published in the New Zealand Herald under the ‘Inside Money’ tagline.

Previously, David edited a niche financial adviser industry monthly rag for five years after returning to New Zealand from a long sentence in Australia where he served as editor of IFA magazine, a weekly publication aimed at the Australian financial advisory market.

At one time in the distant past, he was also managing editor at the now-defunct ASX-listed firm InvestorInfo, which published IFA magazine, InvestorDaily, Investor Weekly and Masterfunds Quarterly.

Among his other credits, David lists launch editor of weekly online Australian publication Investment&Technology News (I&T News) – which later morphed into Investor Strategy News as part of The Inside Network stable – Money Management New Zealand correspondent and countless other freelance articles, reports and educational materials which he has since forgotten about or don’t carry his byline.

In addition, David is head of research for and author of an annual KiwiSaver market report and a seminal survey of New Zealand’s financial advisory industry.

He has not yet been replaced by artificial intelligence.
