How your KiwiSaver money is held

  • The Summer KiwiSaver scheme is set up as a trust, which is governed by a trust deed between Forsyth Barr Investment Management Limited (manager of the Scheme) and the Supervisor.

  • It is a registered managed investment Scheme under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

  • The Supervisor (or a custodian it appoints) holds all investments of the Scheme in trust for the Scheme’s members.

  • This means the investments are held separately from Forsyth Barr for the benefit of Scheme members.

  • The Supervisor performs another important role, which is to check that we as manager perform our duties.

  • The Supervisor has been granted a full licence under the Financial Markets Supervisors Act 2011 to act as a KiwiSaver supervisor and is subject to reporting conditions from the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).
