LifeCycle or SelfSelect

The NZ Funds Managed Superannuation Service provides clients with a modern, contemporary solution to help them achieve their retirement objectives.

The NZ Funds Managed Superannuation Service is a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) and is therefore able to accept UK Pension transfers from clients migrating to New Zealand.

Like our KiwiSaver Scheme, it is made up of three Strategies; the Income Strategy, Inflation Strategy and Growth Strategy.

For UK Pension clients, it also offers an Income Strategy and Growth Strategy with a British Pound overlay, to meet the needs of those who may want to retain an exposure to this currency.

Under our automated LifeCycle investment option, a member's investment is automatically allocated across the Income, Inflation and Growth Strategies each year based on their age, as illustrated below.
