Lifetime Income

KiwiSaver has fundamentally improved the retirement options for all New Zealanders. 500,000 of us will reach 65 over the next 15 years and we will do so with savings of at least $36 billion.

As New Zealanders continue to accumulate substantial amounts of capital, NZIG is developing products and services that give retirees new choices in how they use their money and innovative options to protect their capital, enhance returns and provide regular income to supplement their New Zealand Super.

There is sound international precedent for such products a nd services, particularly in America and Japan where there has been considerable product development for retirees. We have also established strong links with international industry associations representing retirement income product providers.

Our goal with Income for Life is to deliver a fixed level of income (5%) for life amounting to at least $100 per week for every $100,000 of capital invested. The capital is available to the investor at all times, so it can be drawn on if required for life's unforeseen expenses, and retirees can cancel the contract if they are not satisfied with minimal penalties.
