BNZ is launching a new KiwiSaver First-Home Buyer Fund.
Wednesday, September 16th 2015, 2:34PM
This new fund, open to customers from Thursday, extends BNZ's KiwiSaver Scheme fund choices from five to six.
It is designed for people saving for their first home using BNZ KiwiSaver and who intend to withdraw their savings for their deposit.
BNZ head of wealth Donna Nicolof said: "We have identified that five years is the typical timeframe for people to withdraw their funds to purchase their first home.
"The BNZ KiwiSaver Scheme First-Home Buyer Fund has an investment profile of 85% income and 15% growth. This ratio reflects the fact people saving for their first home are likely to be more averse to investment losses but would like to outperform cash bank deposits in a three- to five-year timeframe.
"At BNZ our mission is to help people be good with money and the BNZ KiwiSaver Scheme First Home Buyer Fund optimises the investment risk for people intending to withdraw their savings to purchase their first house.”
