    Yeah, they need to do something about the partner rules. Last thing I want is to have to dip into my future retirement savings. The wife paid her taxes for years and she should be entitled to the same benefits as the woman next door whose husband wasted all his money down the pub. Why should they get benefit and not us. Penalised for being careful with money.

    Contrarian rules coming up?
    "capital allocation, that people will re-up with managers who have won in the last year, and they will not allocate to managers who have lost. And we know that that's actually a losing strategy, that you do worse that way because of regression to the mean, and you're not taking luck into account, and you're just thinking about short-term results, in terms of as opposed to process.

    Certainly true and-- you don't want to do this in options trading, as well. Whether you're up or down in a particular moment should matter very little. But it's a real mistake that we make and it's a weakness of human decision-making."

    "In a conservative fund, they would end up with about $185,000, or $151 a week, compared to $272,000 or $222 a week in a growth fund."

    This has made a tangible difference to balances, and to the end result that many of these people will have at retirement. One financial adviser estimated that people who panic-sold missed out on combined $3.5 billion in retirement savings."

    I switched from Generate after they thought investing Kiwisaver funds into Social housing was a good idea. 1.5% returns for a feel good factor? No thanx, not with my money.

    I am currently in the Balanced fund of a Big Bank scheme. The big bank is about to close its dedicated online portal for KiwiSaver account detailed information. The information available on the Internet Banking site is not very transparent and is in summary form with no information on units held or unit prices. So it will have insufficient information for updating the spreadsheet. Has anybody got any particular scheme recommendations? I see Milford were top in Canstar's 2020 review.
