How we compare KiwiSaver accounts
In this, our first comprehensive research comparison of KiwiSaver, we assessed the price and features of 29 KiwiSaver Schemes and 91 KiwiSaver Funds to determine which funds best suit the needs of our investor profiles. The cost of the funds were sourced from sorted.org.nz, and we combined this with over 200 features on each scheme to determine who provides the best value funds to put on your shopping list. We stress that our ratings are not based on performance. While there are funds that will outperform the market or their benchmark, past performance does not guarantee future performance and we are not able to identify future top performers.
