Director, Anthony Edmonds told Good Returns that their entering into the KiwiSaver space is the “logical next step in the evolution of the platform”.

Rather than dipping their toe in the water with a couple of fund offerings, InvestNow has jumped in head first with a large scheme offering 28 fund options on launch, managed by nine expert fund managers. Edmonds says that the funds run the gamut of “diversified funds; single-sector funds covering all the major asset classes including shares, fixed interest; index funds; active funds; and socially responsible funds”.

Edmonds has said that the KiwiSaver offering has been on the cards for InvestNow ever since their launch in 2017. Central to the thinking of InvestNow when developing these funds is allowing the maximum level of choice and flexibility for the investor.

He says that choice “gives investors the freedom to build portfolios that match with their values. This platform gives investors the opportunity to self manage their portfolios. At the same time we are offering one stop diversified funds for people who don’t want to manage their portfolios. The platform provides the flexibility to meet the need of different kinds of investors.”
