Please note:
A defined benefit scheme provides its members with an income for life from their retirement date calculated using a set formula usually linked to the member’s final salary.
A defined contribution scheme provides its members with a lump sum at retirement based on their and their employer’s contributions to the scheme, and on the investment returns generated by the scheme.
For both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes, if you are transferring from a UK Defined Benefit Scheme you may also need to pay additional UK financial advice fees.
When selecting external investment managers, NZ Funds requires that they have in place an ESG policy that appropriately addresses ESG concerns. This policy may be different from NZ Funds’ responsible investing policy, and may permit the external investment manager to invest in securities that would be prohibited under NZ Funds’ responsible investing policy.
Where this is the case, NZ Funds will undertake an assessment of the underlying investment manager’s ESG policy, and may grant the underlying investment manager an exemption from complying with NZ Funds’ responsible investing policy.
NZ Funds will not grant an underlying investment manager an exemption where their ESG policy allows them to invest more than 20% of their portfolio in securities that would be prohibited under NZ Funds’ responsible investing policy, or where their investments in prohibited securities would result in an NZ Funds retail Portfolio or Strategy having an exposure of more than 10% to securities prohibited under NZ Funds’ responsible investing policy.
