Navigating KiwiSaver Episode 4: KiwiSaver Fees

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 • Duration 09:53

Jess and Stuart are back for episode 4 of our Navigating KiwiSaver series. Last week they discussed contributions, this week Stuart explains KiwiSaver fees, he also touches on active and passive investments.

The fee is calculated as a percentage of the net asset value of each fund, and is already deducted from your investment, so returns will be reduced.

Actively managed funds are where investment managers make active decisions on what investments to buy or sell in your KiwiSaver. On the other hand, passive investments copy what the market is doing by tracking and buying the index.

This podcast has been prepared by the FMA. The advice is of a general nature, and is not intended to be financial advice and FMA does not accept responsibility for any loss that any a person may suffer from following it. The FMA recommends that our audience seek their own financial advice in respect of investing in KiwiSaver. Anyone considering investing in KiwiSaver or making changes to their investment in KiwiSaver should seek advice from a financial adviser.

#8 KiwiSaver Annual Report 2023

Episode 8

Friday, September 22, 2023 • Duration 05:24

In this episode, we look at the latest KiwiSaver Annual Report, with John Horner, Director of Markets, Investors and Reporting at the FMA.

The FMA’s latest KiwiSaver Annual Report shows that KiwiSaver has held firm through a continuing period of market volatility. Total funds in KiwiSaver have grown again this year, by $4 billion, due to contributions of $10.5bn from members, employers, and government.

This growth in total KiwiSaver funds is despite $1.9bn in investment losses at the March year end, the fourth time total investment returns have gone backwards in the scheme’s 16-year history. This points to the importance of ongoing contributions from investors, employers and the Government in building long-term retirement savings.

We talk with John about what’s happening with KiwiSaver fees, withdrawals by over 65s and what impact volatile world markets have had on KiwiSaver investor behaviour.

#6 Financial Advice Providers

Episode 6

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 • Duration 04:10

Today we discuss the licensing of Financial Advice Providers (FAPs) with the FMA’s Michael Hewes.

From March 17, 2023 all financial advice providers (FAPs) must hold or operate under a full licence from the FMA if they want to provide regulated financial advice to retail clients.

With full licensing now in effect, this will continue to give Kiwis greater confidence in consistent standards across the financial advice industry. The value of quality financial advice is particularly relevant in the current environment, when many New Zealanders are navigating challenging financial decisions.

This follows a two-year transition period, since 15 March 2021, during which they were allowed to operate under a transitional licence.

Featuring FMA Director of Deposit Taking, Insurance and Advice, Michael Hewes.

#5 Climate-related disclosures

Episode 5

Tuesday, February 7, 2023 • Duration 05:12

Today we discuss New Zealand’s new climate-related disclosures regime with the FMA’s Jenika Phipps.

Organisations covered (known as Climate Reporting Entities or CREs) will soon have to make annual disclosures covering governance arrangements, risk management, strategies and metrics and targets for mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts.

This applies to the larger publicly listed companies, big insurers, banks, non-bank deposit takers and investment managers.

The FMA is responsible for independent monitoring and enforcement of the regime, providing guidance about compliance expectations, and reporting on monitoring activities and findings.

We talk about who is covered by the regime, what’s happening around the world and what business should start thinking about as the new rules come into force this year.
