About the proposed transfer
Thank you for the trust you place in us to be your KiwiSaver provider. Our advisers and investment managers are committed to maximising long-term returns to help achieve your goals.
Fisher Funds has evolved over the years, and we are now one of the largest specialist KiwiSaver providers in the country. Part of that growth has come from acquiring the KiwiSaver scheme portfolios of other businesses including Tower, Aon and Kiwi Wealth. This means we have been managing several KiwiSaver schemes at once.
We have begun working with the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) to reduce the number of schemes we offer, removing complexity and making it simpler and easier to get what you need from us when you call, login or look online. We are proposing to close the scheme you are in after transferring you to another scheme that contains an equivalent GlidePath feature using additional funds.
To proceed with this transfer, we must must go through a rigorous process overseen by the FMA to ensure we meet all regulatory requirements and that the transfer is in your best interests.
