    Superannuation schemes are managed fund investments. When you save via a superannuation scheme, your money is pooled with other New Zealander’s in your scheme and is spread across different kinds of investments. Some schemes offer additional benefits such as life or disability insurance. If you’re considering joining a workplace savings scheme instead of KiwiSaver, make sure you compare the benefits first.
