A KiwiSaver plan that's
simply better
Simplicity in NZ’s nonprofit KiwiSaver plan, charging members low, low fees. The savings really add up. We call it the Simplicity difference
Paying
too much?
Because we're a not for profit we only charge what it costs.
Our Conservative, Default, Balanced and Growth funds all charge the same low fee - 0.31% p.a., or $3.10 for every $1000 invested.
The fee savings we call the Simplicity Difference. Find yours below.
