We want to help all our members save well for their retirement. That’s why we’re dropping our fees for our big savers – to help you grow your balance even further.
For members with account balances of $200,000 or more, you’ll receive a rebate on your annual fund charges. The new fee structure has four tiers of rebates, with lower fees for higher balances and will apply to all new and existing clients from 28 September 2021.
We believe this will make it fairer for ALL our members – no matter where you are on your retirement journey.
If you have more than $200,000 invested in any of the Booster KiwiSaver Scheme investment funds, you’ll receive a rebate on the estimated annual fund charge on your investments above this amount.
For example, if you’ve got $350,000 invested in the High Growth Fund, you’ll pay the estimated annual fund charge of 1.36% on your balance up to $200,000, and then for any balance between $200,000 - $500,000, your annual fund charge will be rebated by 0.30% to 1.06%.
This rebate will be calculated daily as a percentage of the total value of your investment in the Scheme and applied at the end of each month to buy additional units in the relevant fund(s).
The rebate tiers are:

Note: If you have any investment in any of the Asset Class Funds, the Asset Class rebates will be applied across your entire balance.
If you hold any portion of your investment in the Default Saver Fund or the Conservative Fund, no fee rebates will be applied to any of your balance.
For balances up to $200,000, the standard estimated annual fund charges for your fund will apply. Your annual fund charge will be rebated for the portion of your balance over $200,000. There are four tiers of rebates, with bigger rebates for higher balances.
