*Expected returns (before tax, and after estimated fund charge) are calculated based on Booster’s long-run expectations for investment markets and fund performance and are not a guarantee of future results. The expected returns are an estimate of the long run average annual return of the fund and actual returns will vary across different timeframes. The expected returns calculation is reviewed periodically and is based on various assumptions. The expected returns do not take into account any fees you may have agreed with your financial adviser.

What’s your next goal for your KiwiSaver savings?
When do you plan to make a significant lump sum withdrawal for this goal?
Suppose you had $20,000 in your KiwiSaver account. How much could the value of your account go down by in a year before you started to feel really uncomfortable?
Should we suggest a socially responsible investment fund to match your goals? This will only display if one is available.
Investing is a long-term plan. Generally, if you have a longer investment timeframe, you may be able to take on more risk than you realise. Based on your answers, you might benefit from speaking with a financial advice provider to work out the right fund for your savings goals. Give us a call on 0800 336 338 and we’ll help you with that.
