Meet kōura KiwiSaver Scheme member, Sam!
When Aucklander Sam was choosing his KiwiSaver provider, he wanted to go with a business that was locally owned and had an innovative mindset when it came to investing.
So, it was an easy decision for him to choose kōura, as the local KiwiSaver provider ticked both of those boxes in a big way, he said.
Cryptocurrency as an asset for the future:
The 32-year-old Aucklander has a keen interest in Cryptocurrency. With a background in computer science, he recognises the benefits of the technology behind crypto, and how it could potentially change the world.
Because of this, Sam was stoked to find out Kiwi investors can access crypto investment in their retirement savings through the kōura Carbon Neutral Cryptocurrency Fund.
“Most KiwiSaver’s don’t offer cryptocurrency in their funds. I think they don’t understand the technology, or they think it is too risky. But people have to realise that there is a huge use case in crypto and we are likely to see massive adoption of the technology in the future,” Sam said.
Sam believes a new technology like Cryptocurrency may take some years to mature as an investment class, this is why it was important to invest through an investment like KiwiSaver, that saw investments as a long-term journey.
Taking your KiwiSaver seriously:
“kōura Wealth take their roles as KiwiSaver fund providers very seriously, they acknowledge they are managing peoples hard-earned money so go the extra mile with their customer support” he said.
As someone relatively young who expects to have KiwiSaver for most of his working life, Sam also appreciated the way kōura offered him a smart high growth portfolio at low fees.
“I am 32 years old with a fairly strong risk tolerance, and kōura was a great choice for me. The fact that I am so interested in technology developments, and kōura has investments in Crypto and Clean Energy just made it an obvious choice for me to go with them,” he said.
