A long-term investment tool for you and your team

KiwiSaver can support first-home ownership and retirement savings through personal contributions, employer contributions, eligible government contributions and long-term investment growth.

For business owners, it can also help diversify wealth outside the business rather than relying entirely on a future sale.

KiwiSaver is not set and forget

Your fund choice, contribution rate and investment strategy should evolve with your goals, income, business interests and life stage.

A review can help determine whether your current provider, fund and level of risk remain appropriate.

For business owners and self-employed people

Business owners and contractors may not receive employer contributions in the same way employees do, but KiwiSaver can still provide disciplined long-term investing and eligible government contributions.

It often works alongside managed funds, property and business assets as part of a broader, more flexible wealth strategy.

  • Diversify wealth outside the business
  • Reduce reliance on a future business sale
  • Build a consistent investment habit

Support your staff through education

Many employees have never reviewed their KiwiSaver and are unsure about fund types, fees, contribution rates or risk.

Velocity can provide free workplace sessions that explain providers, fund types, contribution rates, fees and long-term investing principles without assuming everyone uses the same provider.

  • Provider and fund-type education
  • Contribution and fee explanations
  • First-home and retirement context

Choose risk that fits the goal

Different KiwiSaver funds prioritise different balances of stability and long-term growth.

The right approach depends on age, timeframe, goals, other investments and comfort with market movement—not last year’s highest return.
