If you’re looking for an alternative to a standard bank account that provides returns on every dollar while keeping your funds accessible, Booster Savvy could be the perfect fit.

Picking the right KiwiSaver fund is one of the most important choices you can make for your financial future. Your fund type affects how fast your savings grow - and how much they might fluctuate along the way. In this guide, we compare four fund types: Moderate, Balanced, Growth, and High Growth.

How much you’ll have in your KiwiSaver depends on several factors, including your contribution rate, government contributions, and investment returns. Let's break it down so you can get a better idea of what to expect.

Last week, global share markets took a hit. The US stock market (S&P 500) dropped more than 10% over two days - one of the worst back-to-back trading sessions in decades. If you’re in a growth or high-growth KiwiSaver fund, chances are you saw a dip in your balance. Market drops like this can feel scary. But they don’t need to derail your long-term plan.

You’ve probably seen the headlines lately - markets have had a bumpy few weeks. With renewed trade tariff talk out of the US, tension in Ukraine, and questions around big tech, volatility has spiked and global shares, especially in the US, have pulled back. It’s uncomfortable, yes - but market volatility is completely normal.

Sometimes the noise is just too loud. At the moment, every headline seems to shout about yet another economic crisis. We know the media love a clickbait headline, often focusing on the negative, even when the bigger picture isn’t as bad as it seems. Does all this noise have you worried about your KiwiSaver investments?

Every year, the government contributes up to $521.43 to eligible KiwiSaver accounts, provided you meet certain contribution requirements. It's a great incentive to keep growing your savings with minimal effort!
