The money pouring into Wall Street from kiwis has reached a record high

New US treasury data reveals New Zealanders have more than $120-billion worth of US shares and bonds in March - the highest monthly total on record.

Online share-trading platform - Moomoo - reports close to 80 percent of the investment volume went into company shares.
