MR No. 2026 – 14

The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) – Te Mana Tātai Hokohoko has 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.

The latest application is the second liquidation application the FMA has made in respect of entities in the Chance Voight Group.  In December 2025, the FMA sought the liquidation of the Chance Voight’s Group’s parent company, Chance Voight Investment Corporation Limited, and five of its main subsidiaries.

The High Court granted the FMA’s application for the appointment of interim liquidators pending a hearing on whether the companies should be liquidated.  The Court has scheduled a three-day hearing from 29 June to 1 July 2026 to hear the December 2025 liquidation application.

Margot Gatland, Head of Enforcement says, “The FMA’s decision to seek liquidation of further Chance Voight entities, in addition to those subject to the December 2025 application, follows our receipt of the interim liquidators’ report detailing their preliminary investigative findings, as well as our own continuing investigations into the Chance Voight Group.”

Publication of the interim liquidators’ report

The interim liquidators’ report, detailing their preliminary investigative findings into the affairs of the Chance Voight Group, is currently subject to a court suppression order. The FMA asked the Court to lift suppression over the report at a hearing on 3 March 2026.

“We did this because we consider there to be strong public interest in the report being made available to investors and the wider public,” says Ms Gatland.

The Group’s principal, Mr Whimp, opposed the release of the report at the hearing.  The High Court has now issued a judgment on the release of the interim liquidators’ report, but the report remains under interim suppression until 5.00 pm on Friday 17 April 2026. The FMA will provide a further update about the publication of the report after that date.

Investigation continues

The FMA’s investigation into Chance Voight Investment Corporation Limited, its subsidiaries and persons and entities associated with the Chance Voight Group remains ongoing.  Anyone with information can contact the FMA by email: [email protected] or by phone to 0800 434 566.
