SUPERLIFE KIWISAVER SCHEME
SUPERLIFE AGE STEPS - AGE 50
Growth fund type
Here's what the provider says about this fund:
SuperLife Age Steps automatically sets the proportion of your investment in income and growth assets based on your age. As you get older, the proportion of your investment in more volatile growth assets will be reduced, lowering the expected size of the ups and downs in the value of your investment. This option may be suitable if you are saving for retirement (assumed to be age 65), and assumes you will continue to invest your savings and spend them over your retirement period.Your SuperLife Age Steps - Age 50 investment will be allocated 25% to income assets and 75% to growth assets.

Services
From the September 2018 KiwiSaver provider survey
data yet
We surveyed KiwiSaver providers on how many different ways they help their members with investment options, communicate with members, and the extra services they offer.

Help with investment options
Communications to members
Other services
Here ‘help’ means things like online forms, tools, calculators and information on how to optimise your KiwiSaver.
More communication is not always better communication, but if the provider gives you options on how you like to be reached, that usually helps.
These extras include a range of additional services that are helpful.
