With your adviser to guide you along the way, KiwiWRAP KiwiSaver Scheme gives you control over how you invest to meet your retirement goals, and works alongside the other investments within your wealth world.

With over 400 investment options to choose from, environmental, social and governance-related investment preferences can easily be accommodated.

KiwiWRAP is an advice-led KiwiSaver scheme only available through an accredited financial adviser. A minimum initial balance of $50,000 is required.
