    Cash investments

    Cash investments include savings accounts and term deposits with a bank, credit union or building society. You can also invest cash through a managed fund (this includes KiwiSaver) which pools together money from individuals for investments, managed by a fund manager. Cash investments are relatively safe because you’re promised a fixed interest rate. But the returns you get through interest rates tend to be low, so they’re not always the best option – particularly if you’re saving for retirement. Find out more about the risks, returns and costs associated with investing in cash here.

    Persons providing false FMA documentation in suspected scam

    The FMA is aware that false letters and receipts featuring the FMA logo and staff names have been used overseas to solicit money. The false letters claim that a mandatory fee is payable to enable the FMA to obtain official documents and facilitate the approval of loan funds. The correspondence is fictitious and characteristic of advance fee fraud. The FMA does not undertake activities of the type described in the letter and would never ask individuals or entities for money for activities or transactions of this type.”
