A choice of seven funds gives you flexibility.

Not sure which KiwiSaver fund is right for you? You’re not alone. Your goals, timeframe and comfort with investment risk can all influence which fund may suit you. The Fisher Funds KiwiSaver Plan gives members a choice of seven funds, from Cash through to Aggressive, as well as the option to use GlidePath.  

GlidePath automatically adjusts your investment mix over time, based on your age. It may be a helpful option if you want a simpler way to manage your KiwiSaver for retirement, although it may not suit everyone - particularly if you’re planning to use your KiwiSaver for a first home. If you’re unsure, Fisher Funds can help you understand your options and make a choice that better reflects your circumstances.  

Using your KiwiSaver account for a first home

Your KiwiSaver account could help you get closer to buying your first home. If you’ve been a KiwiSaver member for at least three years, you may be able to apply for a first home withdrawal and use eligible savings towards your deposit or purchase price. Fisher Funds can help you understand the process, what to expect and where to find the forms and information you need.

Log in to Fisher Funds Online, navigate to "First Home Buyer's Letter" (from Investment Tools on desktop or the account menu on mobile), and answer the eligibility questions.

Once you have answered the eligibility questions, you'll be all set to download a copy of your letter.

Return the form to us with: a copy of your certified ID, your Sale and Purchase agreement, your Solicitor's letter, and a deposit slip for your Solicitor's trust account.

How will the payment be made?

Your funds will be transferred to your solicitor's trust account prior to settlement and will be paid to the vendor as part of the purchase price for an unconditional sale, or as (part of) the deposit if that is a condition of your sale and purchase agreement. If your agreement is not completed, your solicitor will return the funds back to Fisher Funds to be reinvested in your KiwiSaver account.
