The ups and downs of share markets have an impact on our KiwiSaver balances, but it’s important to remember that for most people KiwiSaver is a long-term investment and so market volatility tends to smooth out over time.

Chief Investment Officer Ashley Gardyne spoke to TVNZ 1 Breakfast about the differences between the US and New Zealand economies, and why the New Zealand share market might not impact your KiwiSaver balance as much as you think. He also explains how investment managers use diversification to help manage share market volatility, and what impact inflation can have on your KiwiSaver balance.
