Investment experience
Your KiwiSaver savings are looked after by a team with decades of experience both abroad and in New Zealand.
Serious about responsible investing
We don’t just look at a company’s financial performance. We also look at environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, because we believe these are important drivers of long-term investment risks and returns.
A focus on long-term performance
We focus on long-term performance and follow a consistent and disciplined process for managing investments.
A wide choice of investment options
You can choose to invest your money in a wide range of funds, from single asset classes such as international shares or New Zealand fixed interest, to diversified funds which invest in a range of different assets. We also offer a sustainable fund option.
Convenience
You can keep track of your KiwiSaver savings alongside other ANZ accounts through ANZ Internet Banking and the ANZ goMoney app.
