- How to combine KiwiSaver and Managed Funds to Build Your Home Deposit | Futurisk
How to combine KiwiSaver and Managed Funds to Build Your Home Deposit How to combine KiwiSaver and Managed Funds to Build Your Home Deposit Contact Us The benefits of a combination of both Managed Funds are a great tool to use in conjunction with your KiwiSaver, especially if you’re saving for a home. Using managed funds alongside KiwiSaver can help in several ways. First, they allow you to invest additional savings beyond KiwiSaver contribution limits or what your employer matches. Second, they provide flexibility because you can access your savings for other priorities, including a home deposit. Finally, they can help keep your savings working for you rather than sitting in a bank account. Why bother with KiwiSaver then? Why not just have a managed funds investment? Those are questions you may be asking right now. The answer is, because your KiwiSaver contribution is matched by your employer. That is a huge bonus and one all employed New Zealanders should be a part of (unless your company participates in a similar savings programme). Making this work KiwiSaver remains an excellent savings tool for first‑home buyers, but it doesn’t have to work alone. Combining KiwiSaver with managed funds can provide flexibility, choice, and a clearer pathway toward home ownership — even when your timeline isn’t certain. We can help Your Futurisk Financial Adviser is only a phone call away and can give advice on how to maximise your savings to secure your future and, if it’s one of your goals, enable you to save for that home deposit that can seem so elusive. How to combine KiwiSaver and Managed Funds to Build Your Home Deposit For many New Zealanders, KiwiSaver plays a key role in saving for their first home because it contains the option to withdraw most of the balance for a first‑home purchase after three years. However, for some people, KiwiSaver alone may not be enough, particularly if house prices continue to rise or personal timelines change. This is where managed funds can be a valuable complement to KiwiSaver savings. What are managed funds? Managed funds are investment vehicles that pool money from multiple investors to buy a diversified portfolio of assets such as shares, bonds, and property. Managed by professional fund managers, they allow investors to buy units in a fund, spreading risk across various investments. They are used for long-term growth, wealth building, or saving for goals. KiwiSaver versus managed funds KiwiSaver is designed primarily as a long‑term retirement savings vehicle. While it can be accessed for a first home, it remains largely locked in until specific criteria are met. Usually this means funds are locked in until you reach retirement age (currently 65 years) or request an early withdrawal (usually only granted in the case of financial hardship). Managed funds, by contrast, offer greater flexibility. They allow you to invest outside of KiwiSaver and generally access your money when you need it. This makes managed funds well-suited for medium‑term goals like building a home deposit. View next post At Futurisk, we work for you, not the insurer.

- How to Navigate New Zealand’s Changing Investment Markets. | Futurisk
How to Navigate New Zealand’s Changing Investment Markets. How to Navigate New Zealand’s Changing Investment Markets. Contact Us Equity Market Outlook The NZX 50 index has had some ups and downs lately — you’ve probably noticed your KiwiSaver and other investments dipped slightly in the first quarter of this year. The outlook remains positive, however, and you will have also noticed that, in the past month or two, your investments have started to pick up again. With interest rates coming down, shares are becoming more attractive to investors, and company profits are expected to improve as the economy continues to recover later in 2025. This is good news for investors so keep your eye on your investments. Government Initiatives to Attract Investment A further encouragement for investors is the policies that the government has implemented to attract foreign investment. These include easing 'golden visa' requirements and positioning New Zealand as a 'safe harbour' for investors amidst global economic volatility and uncertainty. Globally, New Zealand is perceived as a socially cohesive, safe, and stable nation which has revitalised the economy and bolster investor confidence. Conclusion So, it’s true that recent shifts in New Zealand's investment markets have caused concern for many. However, the underlying economic indicators and proactive government policies suggest a trajectory towards recovery. At Futurisk, we advise investors to stay informed and, as is always the case with investment funds, maintain a long-term perspective, because the current financial environment presents numerous opportunities for growth and resilience. If you have any questions or concerns about your KiwiSaver or other investments, please give your Futurisk Financial Adviser a call. Caution, not panic is the key. New Zealand's investment markets have experienced notable shifts in the opening months of 2025. Many of these shifts have been as a result of overseas events which are out of our control, such as changes of governments, inter-nation conflicts and changes to international trading conditions. It’s natural that such changes will lead to some investor concern but there’s no need to panic. In fact, at Futurisk, we believe there are real reasons for cautious optimism. Economic Recovery Underway 2024 was a challenging year. Phrases like “looming recession” made many of us nervous and we watched with concern as our investment savings dipped a little. As we progress through 2025, however, the country’s economy is showing definite signs of recovery. In the fourth quarter of 2024, GDP grew by 0.7%, surpassing expectations, with projections indicating growth of 1.4% in 2025 and an acceleration to 2.7% in 2026. On top of this, the Reserve Bank reduced the Official Cash Rate to 3.75% with the aim of stimulating economic activity. View next post At Futurisk, we work for you, not the insurer.

- Cleaning up after Christmas | Futurisk
Cleaning up after Christmas Cleaning up after Christmas Contact Us The Futurisk plan to escape Christmas debt: Make escaping debt a priority. This is the most important step: make a conscious decision that you are going to do whatever it takes, and make whatever sacrifices you need to make, to get out of debt as quickly as possible. Work out what you can do without. To become debt free as soon as possible will require some short-term sacrifices. Think about some things that you could do without for the sake of being debt free. Maybe you only buy coffee twice a week at work instead of every day. Maybe you don't buy that weekly magazine for a little while. Maybe you don't go out for dinner until the bill is paid. Whatever sacrifice you make, it will be worth it to escape the stress and financial cost of credit card debt. Just make sure you put the money saved towards paying off that debt. Pay off more than the minimum. This is the biggest mistake made by people with credit card debt. They believe that, by paying the minimum payment required each month, the debt will quickly disappear. While it will eventually disappear, it will be a long and costly process. The quicker you pay off debt, the more you save in interest and the better off you are financially. Having decided what sacrifices you will make with your spending, calculate how much you can put towards paying off your debt each month, and stick to it. Don't add any more to your credit card. The temptation is always there to treat yourself. "It's only a few dollars," we say. But all those few dollars add up. When the credit card interest rate is added to that, we are just prolonging our time in debt. Set a goal. Having made the decision to be debt free; and worked out where you can economise; and calculated what is the most you can repay each month; and having determined not to add anything to your card, set a date at which you can be debt free. Circle that date on your calendar or in your diary; keep that date at the forefront of your mind... it's the day you'll feel a great sense of release--you'll be debt free! Celebrate. Being debt free is something worth celebrating. Plan a celebration for the day you pay off your debt - but don't make it an expensive celebration, and don't put the cost of celebrating onto your credit card! The team at Futurisk would love to talk to you about all aspects of your personal finances and insurances. Beware Christmas debt! As we wander around the shopping malls leading up to Christmas, it's so tempting to pull out our credit card to buy gifts and treats for family and friends. Of course, our intention is to quickly pay off the amount owing as soon as we get back to work in the New Year. Problem is, for many New Zealanders that doesn't happen. Some credit card statistics Leading up to Christmas last year the New Zealand Herald reported: New Zealanders were collectively paying more than $600 million a year in interest on personal credit card debt. New Zealanders collectively owed $5.542 billion on plastic cards at the end of July 2012. Of this $5.264 billion was on personal credit cards. Nearly two-thirds of personal credit card debt is incurring interest. Despite credit card rates of just 12% being available, the average interest rate on outstanding balances is 17.8 per cent. That equates to $638 million in payments going into the pockets of financial institutions over the past year. Credit card debt is dangerous Now, I know most people will say, "But I pay off my card every month before it incurs any interest." The reality is, most people don't! Much of the debt loaded onto credit cards occurs in the period leading up to Christmas. Last December, we collectively loaded over 5 billion dollars onto our credit cards. Did we pay it all off within the month? No. In January this year we still owed over 3.5 billion dollars of that, plus the interest it was accruing. Credit card debt is dangerous because of the high interest rate it incurs. For many people, going into debt on their credit card puts them into debt for a long, long time. It makes sense to limit the use of your credit card leading up to Christmas, but just in case it's too late, here are a plan to help you clean up after Christmas if you find yourself in debt when January 2014 arrives.
