What the FSC has been doing recently
We support Sorted Money Week
As part of our strategic vision to grow the financial confidence and wellbeing of New Zealanders, we have been using our Money and You consumer platform this week to support Sorted Money Week, with a series of blogs and videos.
Research launch: Investing in volatile times
Our latest research report, Money and You: Investing in volatile times, revealed changes in how New Zealanders are investing - and what they're investing in - since the publication of The Rise of the Digital Investor report last year.
Why Does Money Matter school competition
Entries are open until Friday 30 September for our school video competition, which challenges Kiwi kids to make a 3 minute video about good money habits for a chance to win part of $10,000 worth of prizes for their school.
Health insurance media release
As at 31 March 2022, 1.45 million Kiwis were covered by health insurance, and $1.51bn of claims were paid out in the last 12 months, an increase of 7.2% on the previous year. We encouraged all health insurance holders to actively assess their existing cover to ensure it makes sense for them and their families, and offered some top tips in our latest media release.
It Starts With Action Declaration to continue industry action on women's financial wellbeing
Our It Starts With Action campaign ended with an exceptional Summit event at the Park Hyatt on 28 July, when we also announced the It Starts With Action Summit Declaration designed to lead, guide and inspire change for wāhine in Aotearoa.
Latest KiwiSaver statistics released
FSC statistics cover 89% of total KiwiSaver Funds under Management
(based on RBNZ data as at 31 March 2022), and are gathered from FSC members and non-members. Our KiwiSaver statistics for the June 2022 quarter have been released, revealing the average KiwiSaver balance is $26.3K.
Our initiative to help Kiwis grow their financial confidence and wellbeing.
Money and You is a resource for all New Zealanders with tips, insights and conversations designed to grow financial confidence and wellbeing. From getting a handle on your KiwiSaver to mental health and staying safe online, we cover it all. The content is grounded in FSC research and draws on experts from our member organisations and industry partners, but it's written in an accessible way – without the jargon.
