    Thanks so much to the sponsors of this episode, the epic team at the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme.


    I actually got a DM recently from a podcast listener who has made the switch.

    Dan said: “I would like to thank your sponsors. Switching my KiwiSaver to Generate has been a game changer. I’ve seen more growth in just a few months with Generate than I did my entire time with my previous fund through a big bank. It’s been a massive improvement, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”


    So why should YOU consider becoming a Generate customer?


    Well for starters they win awards all the time for their chart-topping long-term performance.

    They are a Kiwi-owned company with local advisers right across the country ready to help you. They’ll chat with you about your options and help make sure you’re maximizing your KiwiSaver investment.


    Head to https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/dom for a no-obligation chat with one of their advisers. The sooner you get advice, the better off you could be.

    A copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website. The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited and of course past performance does not guarantee future returns.
