Why consider transferring KiwiSaver?
A different fund risk profile (conservative/growth) might better match your goals.
Some providers offer better service, clearer reporting or included insurance.
A transfer gives you a chance to reassess risk levels and fund choice against your life stage.
How a transfer adviser helps (step‑by‑step)
1. Free transfer check: We review your current provider, fees, fund type and recent performance.
2. Independent comparison: We compare multiple providers and recommend one (or a shortlist) that better fits your situation.
3. Clear recommendation: We explain benefits, potential trade‑offs (fees, ethics, expected timeline).
4. Consent & initiation: With your permission, we handle consent forms and notify both providers.
5. Confirmation & follow‑up: We confirm the transfer and check your new account settings; we’re available for questions post‑transfer.
Our Christchurch transfer process (what to expect)
Typical timeline: 30 minute advice session. Most transfers complete within 1–2 weeks.
What we need from you: photo ID, your KiwiSaver current provider name.
Local support: We offer phone or video consultations and can meet in Christchurch by appointment.
Transparency: We disclose any fees or charges up front and never hide commissions - our recommendations are focused on your outcome.
Provider comparison checklist (what we evaluate)
- We compare fund type, fees, risk, service and long-term fit — not just short-term performance.
- Underlying fund performance (10, 5, 3‑year returns where available)
- Risk profile and whether the fund suits your retirement horizon
- Ease of online access, reporting and customer service
- Annual fund fees and administration costs
- Any exit or transfer delays or requirements
Costs & fees
We provide a free transfer check to identify whether a transfer is likely to benefit you. Adviser fees, when applicable, are fixed and disclosed before you agree - no hidden commissions. If we recommend a transfer, you’ll know exactly what we charge and what value you should expect to receive.
