You can contribute to the AMP KiwiSaver Scheme via:
- PAYE contributions through your employer
- Regular contributions via direct debit or automatic bank payment
- Lump sum contributions direct to AMP or via Inland Revenue
Need help choosing a fund?
If taking control of your retirement savings is more your style, select a fund that suits you. Choose from four fund types:
- Diversified Funds - blend a number of asset classes together, like fixed interest and shares.
- Responsible Investment Funds - diversified funds with a sustainable focus.
- Goals-based Funds- aim to deliver a specific investment outcome.
- Single Sector Funds - invest in one particular asset class, for instance, property, equity or cash.
Would you like to get started? Don't hesitate to contact our KiwiSaver specialists. They are more than happy to help and discuss your options.
When can you withdraw your savings?
While KiwiSaver is designed to help you save for your retirement, it’s flexible enough to keep up with other changes that could happen in your life.
You can make withdrawals when you reach your qualifying date, however, you may also have other opportunities to use your savings before you retire. Provided you meet the criteria, this might apply to you in the case of:
- Purchase of your first home
- Significant financial hardship
- Serious illness
- Permanent emigration
It’s important that you choose the fund or funds that are right for you. This will depend on what your goals are for your savings. Feel free to call us any time to have a chat about what options best suit you.
