The KiwiWRAP scheme, available to advisers only, now has more than $200 million in funds under management.
"KiwiWRAP continues to attract investors with higher balances who are seeking tailored advice on their KiwiSaver investments. Over the past year, the number of KiwiWRAP accounts with balances exceeding $1million has nearly doubled, and the scheme’s average portfolio balance has increased from $174,000 to $188,000," the company says.
With more than 40 adviser firms nationwide offering the KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme, the market is signalling growing demand in an adviser-led KiwiSaver solution.
"Many financial advisers aren’t just recommending the scheme to their clients, they’ve invested their own KiwiSaver balances in it too."
Hamilton Hindin Greene financial adviser, Jeremy Simpson, says, “I’ve got a KiwiWRAP account myself. All our advisers have transferred their KiwiSaver to it.”
“It’s the best way to truly understand the scheme.”
That sentiment is echoed across the growing network of accredited adviser firms using the scheme to deliver better outcomes for clients, particularly those with significant balances and more personalised investment needs.
“This isn’t just a generic KiwiSaver scheme that advisers recommend, it’s one they have incorporated into their suite of advice solutions and are personally backing with their own retirement savings,” Consilium chief executive Louisa Yandle says.
“That speaks volumes about the confidence advisers have in KiwiWRAP’s flexibility, transparency and long term value as part of their business.”
With over 1,000 investors onboard, KiwiWRAP is carving out a niche in the market, giving advisers the tools to offer clients a KiwiSaver solution that aligns with their wider portfolio strategy.
