KiwiSaver

KiwiSaver

Sooner or later, KiwiSaver is going to affect all employers, employees and the self employed.  Find out more about KiwiSaver here.

What is KiwiSaver?

KiwiSaver is the Government's low-cost superannuation initiative.  Contributions are normally funnelled from an employee's pay via the IRD and on to a scheme provider, but contributions can also be paid directly.

The funds are locked in until the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation (currently age 65) or for five years, whichever is later.

Why you should invest in KiwiSaver

For most New Zealanders there will be a considerable gap between what they will want to spend in retirement, and what they will receive from the state pension.  Whatever your desired retirement lifestyle, you'll almost certainly want to set aside money to fund this gap and have financial independence in retirement.

The greatest risk most savers face is that they spend their retirement savings before retirement.  By locking in your savings, you help to ensure they will be there when you need them.

Fidelity KiwiSaver Scheme

If you are going to join KiwiSaver, then we think there is no better scheme than the Fidelity KiwiSaver Scheme, and here's two great reasons why:

Solid track record. We have over 35 years in the business of savings, investment and insurance, and we have over $450 million of funds under management on behalf of 20,000 New Zealanders.

Kiwi owned and managed. Fidelity Life is New Zealand owned and managed, meaning decisions are made right here in New Zealand, you have ready access to those people, and profits stay and are invested here.
