Make the most of your
KiwiSaver investments

Work closely with a financial adviser to design a KiwiSaver portfolio suited to your retirement goals and preferences. It's time to take control of your KiwiSaver investments.

Flexibility to design your KiwiSaver portfolio

With your adviser to guide you along the way, KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme gives you control over how you invest to meet your retirement goals, and works alongside the other investments within your wealth world.

As KiwiSaver balances grow, so does the need for professional financial advice. 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 can now work together to design a KiwiSaver portfolio and retirement plan for your specific needs, taking into consideration any other investments they advise you on. With over 400 investment options to choose from, environmental, social and governance-related investment preferences can easily be accommodated.

KiwiWRAP is an advice-led KiwiSaver scheme only available through an accredited financial adviser. A minimum initial balance of $50,000 is required.
