How the Sharesies KiwiSaver Scheme works

Unlike conventional KiwiSaver schemes, our Scheme gives you the freedom to choose your own investments, with tools and limits to help you manage your portfolio’s risk and diversification.

Start with a plan

Your first step toward a future that’s more you begins with making an investment plan. It tells us how you’d like your KiwiSaver balance and ongoing contributions invested.

Choose a base fund

You have six base funds to choose from, ranging from conservative to high growth. You can select a single base fund for your entire investment plan, or select multiple base funds for even greater diversification.

Add your own picks

If you like, you can add your own choice of nearly 100 companies and ETFs listed on the NZX. Up to half of your plan can be allocated into your own picks, to a max of 5% in each pick.
