How the Sharesies KiwiSaver Scheme works
Our Scheme is a bit different to conventional KiwiSaver schemes. We give you the freedom to choose your own investments, with limits to help you manage your portfolio’s risk and diversification.
Start with a plan
Your first step toward a future that’s more you begins with making an investment plan. It tells us how you’d like your KiwiSaver balance and ongoing contributions invested.
Choose a base fund
You’ve got the choice of six base funds, ranging from a lower-risk conservative fund to a higher-risk aggressive fund. Your base fund can make up your entire investment plan, or you can add your own picks on top.
Add your own picks
If you like, you can add your own choice of nearly 100 companies and ETFs listed on the NZX. Up to half of your plan can be allocated into your own picks, to a max of 5% in each pick.
Change as your life changes
Goals, values, or risk appetite change? No worries—you can add or remove picks, or choose a different base fund, whenever you like.
