So we’ve just announced our 5th fee cut in 5 years. From 1 April, we’re lowering our total fund charge to 0.30% across our Conservative, Balanced and Growth KiwiSaver Funds and our diversified investment funds.

Simplicity believes in passing on the benefits of scale to our members – and we’re on track for further fee cuts in the future. Check out more details on our blog now!
