The former is the introduction of the Kiwisaver legislation
into Parliament. The second is the handover of the top job
at ING.
Considering Kiwisaver is so big it’s somewhat of a surprise
that the media haven’t covered it in huge detail. The
Supertalk
section of Good Returns has some good coverage, along
with a story on how it impacts – or not – on advisers.
There is more on this topic in my Blog
and also Russell Hutchinson has penned an excellent piece
which is in the next issue of ASSET Magazine. (If you would
like to read Russell’s piece please click

Over at ING, Paul Fyfe stepped down this week.
