    Anywhere there are low fees are the ones to go for.

    I like Superlife.

    Agreed - Superlife is the best, can pick and mix allocations to different areas and move quickly, also low fees and good service.

    I have recently moved to Superlife based on recommendations here. The flexibility and low fees are what attracted me.

    High profits should be the criterion. Noit the fees.

    Some homework for you!

    Personally, I have always struggled to compare providers, as no one product is the same as another, they all appear to be structured differently, fees as well.

    I started with Gareth Morgan, switched to Fisher. Currently thinking I might have a look at Milford, Superlife.

    Always remember that you can change the structure (balanced/growth etc) about twice a year with most providers, no cost)

    Good luck with your choice!

    It's the result that matters, so look for performance. A fund that has double the fees, and makes quadruple the gains would be better than simply going for low fees. Sometimes you actually do get what you pay for. I have no idea who is any good. I've taken no interest. I retired 30 odd years ago and turn 65 next year, so I just opted for the first name that come into my head that I considered safe, or likely to avoid volatility in the short time frame I had. I picked Garreth Morgan, but I'm only there for the $1k kick start and the tax credit and pay the minimum $100 per month. In the scheme of things it's so trivial that I can't be bothered even thinking about changing. I'm well set up, but if I were younger, I' d stay well clear of Morgan.
