KiwiSaver is an increasingly important part of retirement planning for most New Zealanders. Yet many KiwiSaver investors are in the wrong scheme or fund, taking account of their age, stage, and financial goals.
That means many KiwiSaver members aren’t maximising their KiwiSaver opportunities.
One industry expert estimates the total amount invested in KiwiSaver accounts will grow from $123 billion in early 2025 to around $400 billion by 2035.
Yet only 25% of KiwiSaver account holders who took part in a recent survey (Harbour and IpSos 2023) said they had sought KiwiSaver advice from a qualified financial adviser.
Banks dominate the KiwiSaver market. The ANZ and ASB KiwiSaver schemes combined represent more than one third of the market, but bank staff are not permitted to make KiwiSaver recommendations to individual bank customers.
