How we can help

Choose the Right Fund
Many KiwiSaver members are placed into default funds that may not reflect their goals, stage of life, or comfort with risk. We help ensure your KiwiSaver is invested in a fund that aligns with your long-term plans, helping you make the most of your savings potential over time.

Why KiwiSaver advice matters
The decisions you make with your KiwiSaver today can have a significant impact on your financial future. Strategic advice helps ensure your KiwiSaver is structured to support both your short and long-term goals.
-
Your goals, timeframe and comfort with investment risk can change. A review can help determine whether your current KiwiSaver settings still align with where you are heading.
-
Minor adjustments made today can create a meaningful difference to your KiwiSaver balance over the long term.
-
Understanding your comfort with risk is important in building a KiwiSaver strategy that suits both your goals and timeframe.
-
KiwiSaver can feel overwhelming or confusing. Personalised advice helps simplify decisions and gives you confidence in your direction.
We provide advice across many of New Zealand's leading KiwiSaver providers, including NZ Funds, Pathfinder, Generate, Booster, Milford, Amova and more.
-
Your initial KiwiSaver review is provided at no cost and with no obligation. We'll take the time to understand your goals, explain your current KiwiSaver, and discuss whether any changes may be appropriate for your circumstances. If we believe you're already in the right place, we'll tell you.
If you decide to make changes based on our advice, we are generally remunerated by the KiwiSaver provider. We'll always explain this to you upfront before you make any decisions.
-
The right KiwiSaver fund depends on your goals, how long you have until you need your money, and how comfortable you are with investment ups and downs. A fund that suited you a few years ago may not be the best fit today. We can review your current KiwiSaver and help you understand whether your fund still aligns with your circumstances and long-term objectives.
-
Yes. If, after reviewing your KiwiSaver, we believe another provider or fund is better suited to your goals and circumstances, we'll explain why and guide you through the process. We'll help you with the paperwork and make switching as straightforward as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.
-
No. Changing providers isn't always the right solution. Our role is to review your current KiwiSaver and provide personalised advice based on your goals, circumstances, and the features of your existing scheme. If we believe your current provider and fund are already the right fit, we'll tell you.
-
Absolutely. While we're based in Christchurch, we provide KiwiSaver advice to clients throughout New Zealand. Meetings can be held by phone or video call, making it easy to get personalised advice wherever you live.
-
It's a good idea to review your KiwiSaver every few years, or whenever your circumstances or goals change. Major life events such as buying your first home, changing jobs, starting a family, or approaching retirement can all affect whether your current fund is still the right fit. A regular review helps ensure your KiwiSaver continues to support your long-term financial goals.
