Financial Advice

We have agreed that I will provide you with limited scope financial advice in relation to your investment in the investment products indicated below offered by New Zealand Funds Management Limited:

NZ Funds KiwiSaver Scheme, which is made up of the Income, Inflation and Growth Strategies. Clients can either invest via the Life Cycle process, which progressively allocates their investment across the Income, Inflation and Growth Strategies, and adjusts the allocation as the client ages, or can select their own allocation to these Strategies using the Self Select option.

NZ Funds Wealth Builder, which is made up of the Income, Inflation and Growth Strategies. Clients can either invest via the Life Cycle process, which progressively allocates over each of the three strategies, and adjusts the allocation as the client ages, or can select their own allocation to each strategy using the Self Select option.

NZ Funds Income Generator, which is designed to provide investors with regular income and the potential for capital gains over time. The fund is primarily invested in premium New Zealand and Australian dividend-paying shares. It passes those dividends on to investors.
