my experience of superlife Posted by: Paul & Pam Robinson 13 Feb 2011 9:21pm

Superlife have a description of all Ethicas investments now on their website. I have found them very good - transparent & flexible if you want to switch. You can also see all the shares in their NZ & australian funds so decide if you like them.

Kiwisaver - consumer rights Posted by: meandyou 05 Feb 2011 5:44pm

Hi

I would be keen to see a revised review of the schemes, the performance to date and any improvements versus other high interest savings options.

It would also be good to understand how those who sign up (consumers) can be covered from government changes that affect kiwisaver. For instance, if I signed up to a Telecom phone plan at $x for y GBs etc I would be put out to hve that plan reduced - but would still be able to move to another company. With kiwisaver, while you can change to another provider, this does not protect you from government changes that can remove the very reason you chose to register in the first place (ie mortgage diversion). However, from what i can see you would then be locked in with no ability to discontinue kiwisaver. Would like to know consumer.org's take on this...

Current Kiwisaver returns, fees etc? Posted by: Lynne Brunton 12 Oct 2010 9:10pm

Hello,
I was hoping for a similar report compiling all current Kiwisaver funds and their respective performances and fees?
Thank you,
Lynne

Kiwi saver provider performance to date Posted by: C Watts 02 Jun 2010 2:11pm

Hi there. Is Consumer considering undertaking a performance review to date of the Kiwisaver providers, large and small? This is fund performance and provider fees.
Thanks
Colin
