    As kiwisaver matures we will get more flexibility and more options.

    Well looks like it is not kiwisaver that has been boosting nz shares. More super fund & overseas managed funds maybe.

    I think maybe having a lot in bonds is not going to return much so shares could be better, turning to cash at some stage.

    Tumeric probably the same as banking they stuffed most things up by going with national bank web site instead of the excellent ANZ one. What a balls up probably just just shifted the balance & not the details.

    So I am a full time student and therefore do not contribute a whole lot to my kiwisaver fund via contributions taken from my wages. As a result every year I get in touch with my provider to get a financial year to date summary to determine how much money I will need to deposit to make sure I get the full government contribution for the year (the member tax credit).
    This year I was a little early in making my call to Onepath (my new provider as of this time last year). Long story short , the Lady I spoke to said she wasn’t able to give me this summary, rather she would send me via post a document containing all the transactions made in my Kiwisaver funds this financial year (roughly a 20 page document) and I should add them all up. I told her that there was no way I wanted to add up 20 pages of numbers, her reply was “neither do we”!!
    I said to her surely as the provider surely she should be able to provide me these details. She put me on hold, talked to her supervisor, and came back and said the information would be in the mail. I said, great, but I wanted to confirm that the information I wanted would be in there, summarised as I had requested. She said” yup it will be there”. Sure enough 5 days later I received a 20 page document with NO summary.
    I have since called again and made an official complaint. One path have NOT made contact with me. I am, on principle now looking for a new provider. One that on the surface at least gives 2 sh#ts about me as a customer and one that knows what they are doing!
    Any recommendations on good providers??
    Tumeric I have my children with One Path and my wife and I are with Gareth Morgan Kiwisaver. While the returns have been slightly higher for One Path so far, the GMK program has a great and very informative website and great support staff. One Path's reporting and information is pathetic in comparison. Just my 2 cents worth on their reporting and not meant to be recommending any particular service providers as investment choices.

    I have heard Gareth morgan is good.

    I also like Superlife. You can login and see your balances and returns for any time period.

    Have you logged on to your kiwisaver part of the IRD. All transactions through your pay are there, even if a bit delayed.

    I don't like the bank kiwisaver providers. You are better of to choosing a specialist investment manager.

    If knowing where your money is invested, and very clear easy to read reporting are important to you then Gareth Morgan is the place to go. Might not have the highest return in the market, but I think their investment decisions are sound and are less likely to take a massive hit when the market downturns. (Which it will)

    The other two I'd consider are Milford and Superlife kiwisavers.

    (Disc I'm with Gareth Morgan)

    Do you mind elaborating. would be great if you had a chart or something with the returns and whatnot each provider provides
