KiwiWRAP

Flexibility to design
your KiwiSaver investment

The KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme gives you the ability to work closely with an adviser to create your own customised investment portfolio to fit your unique goals.

Working with your adviser, you can choose from over 400 New Zealand and international investments — giving you the flexibility to design your KiwiSaver investments.

Your wealth management world

KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme gives you peace of mind and control over your wealth management world, with your adviser to guide you along the way. The value of advice has never been more important. Market volatility highlights the importance of having an adviser to help you with decisions that may have a long term impact on the value of your investments.

You and your adviser will work together to design a portfolio for your specific needs, taking into consideration any other investments they advise you on.

Responsible investment preferences, including environmental, social or governance, can also be considered.

This allows your KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme portfolio to fit more holistically into your overall wealth management plan.

How it works

Advice

With your adviser, design a portfolio specific to your needs. Your adviser will document this in a Statement of Advice.

Account

Your adviser will open a secure account for you on Consilium Wrap.

Portfolio

Review your portfolio and authorise your details online (including fees).

Transfer

Once authorised, this will trigger an automatic transfer from your current KiwiSaver scheme. Non KiwiSaver cash deposits can also be made at this point.

What to expect in your statement of advice

The KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme requires all members (with the exclusion of eligible investors**) first to receive a personalised statement of advice from an accredited professional financial adviser before they can proceed to join the Scheme.

What this means is that your adviser will consider your specific needs when making a KiwiSaver recommendation.

The statement of advice document includes:

  • Consideration of your personal circumstances such as assets, liabilities and goals for retirement
  • How long you have before you need to access your KiwiSaver investment (your time horizon)
  • How much you can handle up and down movements in the value of your KiwiSaver investment (your risk tolerance)
  • Your adviser’s recommendations for you including the specific investments and the percentage of your money to invest in each, and a risk indicator that will allow you to compare your specific portfolio to other generic KiwiSaver products
  • Full details of the fee your adviser charges and the fees associated with the specific investments recommended
  • An area for you to approve the recommendations and instruct your adviser to proceed

** Eligible investors must still access the Scheme via Consilium-accredited advisers.

Due to its design around choice, KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme is designed for investors at the top marginal tax rates.

    The Scheme is not a portfolio investment entity (PIE) therefore tax is charged at a flat rate of 28% and is not included in the investor’s personal tax return.

    You can transfer your KiwiSaver investment balance to any other KiwiSaver provider at any time. You can also change advisers and stay within the Scheme, provided that your chosen replacement adviser is also Consilium-accredited for the Scheme.
