How much will I pay in fees?

The annual fees on our KiwiSaver accounts simply have a 0.25% per annum management fee. This equates to $2.50 per $1000 that you have invested. 

This fee is deducted at a daily rate and displayed on your online account in dollar figures.

As a nonprofit fund manager, our long term strategy is to drive these fees down as low as possible as we grow and have the economies of scale to do so. Simplicity NZ Ltd is 100% owned by The Simplicity Foundation and we give 15% of our fees to the Foundation, who distributes these funds to New Zealand charities.
