KiwiSaver for Teachers: Understanding Your Options and Getting the Most From It

A practical 30-minute professional learning session designed specifically for teachers and school staff who may never have had KiwiSaver properly explained to them.

Presented by Andrew Stewart, a Registered Teacher and Financial Adviser (FSP1006726) with Advice Knight Ltd, the session provides clear, accessible information about how KiwiSaver works and how the decisions members make can affect their long-term financial outcomes.

The session covers recent KiwiSaver changes, contributions and employer contributions, the differences between Conservative, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive fund types, investment timeframes and risk, and the importance of understanding whether your current fund type is appropriate for your circumstances. It also explains how a Financial Adviser can help KiwiSaver members understand their options, compare providers and funds, assess the level of risk that suits their circumstances and goals, and make informed decisions about where their KiwiSaver is invested.

Designed to fit easily into a staff meeting or professional learning programme, the presentation takes approximately 30 minutes, with time afterwards for questions.

The session is educational and practical in nature, with no obligation for staff to receive individual financial advice.

Suitable for: Teachers, support staff and school leadership teams
Duration: Approximately 30 minutes + questions
