"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Chinese proverb

Recently Simplicity reached more than $1 billion in funds under management, with every one of our funds ranking 1st or 2nd in its category.*

To celebrate these milestones, the Simplicity Charitable Trust is donating $25,000 to the Motutapu Restoration Trust in support of its efforts to restore the island's natural and cultural landscapes.

Under the Motutapu Restoration Plan, over 500,000 trees have been planted on the island, with the forest almost at canopy level. Rare and endangered species are now thriving in the pest-free habitat thanks to donations and volunteers.

Since inception, our trust has given more than $520,000 to charity and donations have grown to over $40,000 per month. 

And we're now saving our investors almost $11 million a year in fees, over $30,000 a day. 

It's simple, the more we grow, the more members save in fees and the more we can give to charity %)

Word of mouth is our strongest pathway to growth, so please keep telling your friends, family and colleagues about our KiwiSaver plan and our Investment Funds.
