On 10 April 2026, the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) – Te Mana Tātai Hokohoko applied to the High Court to liquidate a further 25 entities associated with the Rangiora-based Chance Voight Group. This action follows serious concerns about how the Group has been managed and whether it can meet its financial obligations. This liquidation application represents the FMA's second action against Chance Voight entities. In December 2025, the FMA sought the liquidation of Chance Voight Investment Corporation Limited (the Group's parent company) and five main subsidiaries: Chance Voight Investment Partners Limited, CVI Partners Mortgage Fund Limited, CVI Partners Mortgage Income Fund Limited, CVI Securities Limited, and CVI Financial Limited. The High Court appointed interim liquidators pending a hearing scheduled for 29 June to 1 July 2026 to determine whether these companies should be liquidated. The FMA's decision to pursue liquidation of the additional 25 entities follows receipt of the interim liquidators' preliminary investigative report and the FMA's ongoing investigations into the Group. The additional entities subject to liquidation include various property companies, financial services entities, and investment funds operating under the Chance Voight brand. The interim liquidators' report, which details preliminary findings into the Group's affairs, remains subject to court suppression until 5:00 pm on Friday 17 April 2026. The FMA sought to lift suppression, citing strong public interest in making the report available to investors and the wider public. The Group's principal, Mr Whimp, opposed the release. The FMA's investigation into Chance Voight entities and associated persons remains ongoing. Members of the public with information can contact the FMA at [email protected] or 0800 434 566.
