The NZ Picture

KiwiSaver in numbers

The gap between what most Kiwis have saved and what they'll need in retirement is significant — but small changes made early can make a big difference.

25% gender gap in balances
Women average $34,185 vs men at $42,664 — a gap driven by career breaks, part-time work, and lower contribution rates.

KiwiSaver

Make your KiwiSaver work for you.

KiwiSaver is one of your most valuable assets — but most people are in the wrong fund for their situation and don't even know it. In 2024, KiwiSaver funds returned an average of +16.5%. If you were sitting in the wrong fund, you missed out.

We'll connect you with a specialist KiwiSaver adviser who can review your current fund, compare your options, and make sure your money is working as hard as it should be — whether you're saving for retirement or planning to buy your first home.

KiwiSaver advice is provided by a specialist third-party adviser referred by Trebla. Trebla Partners Limited does not directly provide KiwiSaver advice.

What we look at

A KiwiSaver review covers more than just your fund

It's about making sure every aspect of your KiwiSaver setup is right for where you are — and where you're going.

The Right Fund Type

Conservative, balanced, growth, or aggressive — the right fund type depends on your age, your risk appetite, and how long until you need the money. With markets up 16.5% in 2024, being in the wrong fund has a real cost.

Contribution Rates

Are you contributing enough to maximise your employer contributions and government member tax credits? Small adjustments can make a significant difference to your balance at retirement — compounding works in your favour when you start early.

First Home Withdrawal

Thinking about using your KiwiSaver for a first home? We'll walk you through the eligibility criteria, what you can and can't withdraw, and how it fits into your broader home buying plan.

Provider Comparison

Not all KiwiSaver providers are created equal. Fees, fund performance, and investment philosophies vary significantly. We'll compare your options and help you choose with confidence.

KiwiSaver & Beyond

Looking beyond KiwiSaver?

Beyond KiwiSaver, there are many ways to grow your wealth — managed funds, shares, property, and more. This isn't our area of direct advice, but we won't leave you without a direction.

At Trebla, our focus is mortgage lending and insurance — but we understand that financial wellbeing is a bigger picture. If you're looking for broader investment advice beyond KiwiSaver, we'll refer you to a trusted specialist who can help.

We take a holistic view of your finances — so before you invest, we'll make sure your mortgage structure, insurance cover, and KiwiSaver setup are all working together. There's no point investing aggressively if your foundation isn't solid.

A note on investment advice

Trebla Partners Limited does not provide investment advice. Where clients have broader investment needs, we refer them to specialist investment advisers we know and trust. We're happy to make that introduction — just get in touch.
