| 1 | 1995 | - 22 May 1995: Waikato-Tainui Settlement
Waikato-Tainui iwi signed Deed of Settlement with the Crown on 22 May 1995. Waikato–Tainui was the first iwi to reach an historical Treaty of Waitangi settlement with the Crown for injustices that went back to the wars and land confiscations (raupatu) of the 1860s. The Deed of Settlement included cash and land valued at a total of $170 million. The agreement was a major landmark in New Zealand’s developing treaty settlements process. By 2014, Tainui Group Holdings and Waikato–Tainui Fisheries had assets of over $1 billion.

| 2 | 1997 | - 20 Oct 1997: 'Black Tuesday' share-market crash
'Black Tuesday' share-market crash occurred when billions of dollars were wiped off the value of New Zealand shares in the weeks following 20 October, as the shock-waves of a sharp drop in New York’s Wall St stock market rippled around the world. Many investors lost everything as companies that had over-extended themselves with debt were dragged under. Small 'mum and dad' investors were also burned by the experience; many deserted the share market, which languished until the early 2000s in NZ.
