Superannuation in the Workplace


The introduction of the Government’s KiwiSaver legislation has brought superannuation to the forefront and now all businesses will be required to be involved in a superannuation scheme for their employees.

Craigs Investment Partner's can help employers introduce investing into the workplace by offering an holistic investment approach based on the business needs of the company.

This can benefit your business by:

  • Providing competitive and innovative employment incentives for your employees
  • Helping you recruit and retain high calibre employees in the workplace

Landcare selects Craigs Investment Partners as KiwiSaver provider

Landcare Research is New Zealand's foremost environmental research organisation specialising in sustainable management of land resources. With over 430 employees, Landcare Research have announced the appointment of Craigs Investment Partners Limited, one of the country's leading investment advisory firms, as their preferred KiwiSaver Scheme Provider.

A spokesperson for Landcare Research said,

"that while this decision was based on a number of criteria the deciding factor was Craigs Investment Partners’ response to our request for ethical (Socially Responsible) investment options. Craigs Investment Partners took time to understand our company and employees’ ethos. They appeared to have the broadest range of investment solutions of all providers. This included not just a range of defined portfolios (including Conservative, Balanced and Growth), but the option of tailored investments for individuals, based on their preference or requirements. Being a full service investment advisory firm with 17 branches nation-wide they also offer local support both now and in to the future to our employees."
