Welcome to our new quarterly publication for TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme members, and congratulations on investing with TOWER.
This newsletter is designed to help you get the best value out of your investment in the TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme, and will include lots of practical tips and information.
In this edition we discuss how you can work out which TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme fund is the best fit for your personal savings needs and objectives, and why it is important for you to make sure you are in the right fund.
If you are not sure whether you’re invested in a fund that is right for you, then don’t worry, because our online self-assessment tool is designed to make it easy for you to work out which TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme fund is your best option.
If you decide to switch funds after performing the self assessment, the good news is that with TOWER you can do this online at no cost.
We also take a closer look at our KiwiSaver default investment fund, which many of our members are invested in through automatic enrolment.
There’s more to the fund than meets the eye, and the article is well worth the read.
Another service I invite you to make use of, if you have not done so already, is our excellent online member account facility.
You can access this service by clicking on the Check My Balance button at the upper left hand side of this email.
This online service enables you to view your TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme account balance, track the performance of your investments, update your details, and switch your fund choice free of charge.
The service is part-and-parcel of our commitment to bring greater value to our TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme members.
A unique benefit available exclusively to all TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme members is our Cash 4 Schools programme.
Through Cash 4 Schools, TOWER makes donations* to schools nominated by TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme members. You could nominate* the school your children or grandchildren attend.
Even better, if you enrol your children in the TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme, they too can nominate the school of their choice for Cash 4 Schools. Please note when signing up a child, the legal guardian must sign the application form.
Best of all, the Cash 4 Schools donations are paid for by TOWER... not you!
More generally, we offer a lot of resources for TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme members in the KiwiSaver section of the TOWER website, so please feel free to have a browse.
Finally, thank you for investing in the TOWER KiwiSaver Scheme. We appreciate that you have a choice as to which KiwiSaver scheme you belong to, and we value your membership of TOWER’s scheme.
We look forward to being of further service to you in the future.
