Investing in good is a good investment


The future is about putting money into good. More and more customers want to support businesses that are good for the world, and these businesses are thriving. 

Sustainable investing isn’t a choice between doing good and healthy returns. You don’t have to trade one for the other. 

That’s why we apply the same sustainable approach across all our AMP funds.¹

Top 3 frequently-asked questions

1. Can you give me a quick lesson on how KiwiSaver works?


We have this 2-minute video that will give you a quick overview of how KiwiSaver works:

2. Am I in the right fund?

A good start is to first have a think about what kind of journey you want to take and what you want your destination to look like when you get there.

Some funds are considered higher risk, which generally means higher potential returns over time, but with more ups and downs along the way.

Others are considered lower risk, which typically deliver more consistent, yet lower returns.

3. What is the withdrawal process?

KiwiSaver
KiwiSaver is designed to help you save for retirement. When you reach the age of 65, you can choose to access the savings in your AMP KiwiSaver Scheme account.

Can I withdraw before I’m 65?
In some situations you may be able to withdraw funds from your AMP KiwiSaver Scheme account before the age of 65. If you meet the criteria, this might apply to you in the case of:
• purchase of a first home
• significant financial hardship
• serious illness
• life-shortening congenital conditions
• death
• permanent immigration (not to Australia)
• withdrawal of Australian retirement savings (from age 60 provided you have retired under Australian law).

NZRT
Withdrawals depend on the NZRT plan you are in. To find out if you are eligible for the withdrawal, refer to your NZRT member booklet. If you don’t have a copy, please contact your employer, adviser or us. You can also learn more about significant financial hardship withdrawals here.
