How Do I Figure Out If I'm In The Right KiwiSaver Fund?

Ensuring you're in the right KiwiSaver fund that matches your risk profile and goals could be the difference between a financial secure retirement and not. So how do you decide which one is best for you? Find out in our podcast.

Overview: 

If you're not thinking about retirement now, then it's time to start. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s or beyond, working towards building up a financial cushion NOW that you can retire with LATER is incredibly important. Why? Because building wealth doesn't happen overnight and nobody wants to be in the position where they're a few years out from retirement panicking about whether they can afford to retire or not. 

KiwiSaver plays into this (after all, it's purpose is to help us retire post-buying a house), so it's a good idea to ensure you're in the right fund for your risk appetite and goals.
