How to find recession-proof stocks

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s the investments than can do even better in a downturn. Hosted by Frances Cook. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of investing through a recession, as it can be a way to snap up bargains, and build wealth for the future. But what if you’re looking for something a little more immediate? Good investments that keep doing well, even when the economy is down? The current recession is the perfect test of this, because some industries are actually going better than ever. For the latest podcast I talked to Milford Asset Management portfolio manager Sam Trethewey. If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.
