Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I get financial advice from?

According to research conducted in 2011 by Dr Claire Matthews from Massey University, Kiwi’s get their financial advice from family and friends. Financial advisers, books/articles and the Internet are all used in approximately equal proportions. A small number of respondents claimed to rely on themselves and their own experience and education. Dr Matthews said that while these people might be engaged in their financial investments and making independent decisions,
it is a concern that they may do so in a vacuum without seeking reliable and timely information from elsewhere.

Getting the right advice before you save or invest for your future is important. So seek out a professional who is an expert in their field.
