As soon as your children have their IRD number, they should be enrolled in a KiwiSaver plan!

The beauty of enrolling them into KiwiSaver at a young age is the power of compounding interest- the snowball effect that happens when your earnings generate even more earnings- You receive interest not only on your original investments, but also on any interest, dividends, and capital gains that accumulate—so your money grows faster and faster as the years roll on.

What’s more, they could use their deposited contributions as a down-payment for a house when they’re old enough. We’re here to answer any questions you might have.

“Letting your money work for you is a key component of saving for retirement. Compound interest, dollar-cost averaging, tax-deferred savings, and diversification help lower your risk and boost your return on investment over time.

Compound interest is the interest on your principal plus interest on the interest you earned previously.
For example, a single investment of $10,000 at 5% compounded annually earns $10,789 in interest over 15 years for a net amount of $20,789. Straight interest would accrue at the rate of $500 per year, $7,500 in total interest, for a net amount of $17,500. When interest is reinvested and compounds at 5%, it adds another $3,298 to the value. That is the magic of compound interest.”
