It was your most popular option this year and you had plenty of choice with 17 RIAA certified responsible funds, meaning you can invest with a clear conscience.
We helped put the green back in the green houses with our latest Booster Innovation Fund investment Hot Lime Labs. It joined one of 30 start ups, in our Booster Innovation fund, aiming to change the world.
Kiwi's money helped to plant new Hope Farms in Nelson, sell premium butter to Americans in Missouri and grow 1500 tons of delicious New Zealand avocados.
In 2022 we helped over 12,000 members access their KiwiSaver savings. Over 1200 people got into their first home and nearly 10,000 people got on with their retirement plans.
