Running a business is rewarding, but it's rarely straightforward. Behind every successful business is a series of difficult decisions, lessons learned, and the willingness to keep moving forward.

What's something you've learned about business that nobody warned you about?

Not quite two weeks have passed since our Auckland conference, but the key messages remain front of mind. While much of the discussion focused on AI, automation, and emerging technology, our biggest takeaway was simple: people remain at the centre of everything we do. The pace of change continues to accelerate, but rather than being overwhelmed by what's coming, we're focused on embracing it in a practical and purposeful way, learning, adapting, and using technology to create greater value for our clients and support our team. Technology will continue to evolve rapidly, but relationships, trust, and human connection remain the foundations of great outcomes.

Today’s announcement changes what’s possible for New Zealand Sharemilkers.

We're pleased to celebrate that our strategic partner, StoneX, has been granted a Retail Derivatives Issuer Licence by New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority (FMA).

In a first for New Zealand, Sharemilkers, using Milk Price Protection available through Figured, will now be able to independently access a milk price hedging solution.

This is true decision-making independence for Sharemilkers who can now manage their milk price risk independently of land owners, without requiring joint signatures or side contracts.

For all dairy farm operators in New Zealand, it’s an important step forward in improving access to trusted, sophisticated risk management solutions that help strengthen business resilience, improve financial planning, and support investment across the sector.

Now available for Sharemilkers
