Why invest in Christian KiwiSaver Scheme.

Bringing Investment Knowhow to the Christian community. Anglican Financial Care has over 50 years of experience in turning members’ savings into wealth. Our Christian KiwiSaver Scheme is designed for people who want to take control of their financial future. 

As Christians, we recognise that the world is a work in progress under God’s grace, and no company is without fault. Still, we seek to reflect our faith by investing in companies that are making a genuine effort to do more good than harm, balancing all this with our fiduciary obligation to maximise returns to our scheme members. 

We place a high priority on diversification and capital preservation. Our belief is that it’s not just superior investment performance that is important, but superior performance while managing risk and endeavouring to avoid losses.

A KiwiSaver with purpose.

At Anglican Financial Care, we invest with purpose because we believe how money is managed reflects our values and responsibilities as Christians.

That’s why we do our best to prioritise sustainable, future-focused investments that show care for creation and support the common good. We actively manage your funds to respond to changing markets, always with your long-term wellbeing in mind. Our decisions are guided by Christian values, including stewardship, compassion, and ethical responsibility, helping to ensure your investments align with your faith. Note: Our Ethical Investment Policy reflects the Christian values that guide our broader investment philosophy, alongside an ethical screening process that is applied to selected investments within our portfolio.

Reasons to invest in KiwiSaver.

KiwiSaver is a voluntary savings scheme designed to encourage New Zealanders to save for their retirement. It’s designed to be a hassle-free way to maintain a regular savings pattern. KiwiSaver has a range of membership benefits including contributions from your employer and the Government, as well as help buying a first home.

Government contribution.

Eligible KiwiSaver members can receive a Government contribution of up to $260.72 per year. By contributing at least $1,042.86 per year (just over $20 per week) you can receive the maximum amount of $260.72. (Note that the availability of Government contributions is set by legislation and could be changed or suspended at any time.)

Employer contribution.

If you're contributing through your job, your employer must contribute 3%* of your before-tax pay (tax is taken from this contribution). Employers already paying into other eligible schemes you are in, may not need to contribute to your KiwiSaver account.

* This will increase to 3.5% on 1 April 2026, then 4% on 1 April 2028, assuming in each case you contribute from pay at the same or a higher rate.

Buying your first home.

You may be able to withdraw some or most of your KiwiSaver investment to put towards buying your first home. When making a first home purchase withdrawal you must leave in your KiwiSaver account a minimum balance of $1,000.
