Matt Macpherson: head of KiwiSaver at Sharesies on the platform launching 'self-select' option for Kiwisaver

Sharesies' new offering to their Kiwisaver scheme is designed to give members more control and choice in their investments. The Kiwi investing platform is introducing a 'self-select’ option that allows members to self-select up to 50 per cent of their investment plan in individual exchange-traded funds and stocks. Matt Macpherson, head of KiwiSaver at Sharesies says it's important that users get more interested in their Kiwisaver, and this offering will help them feel more connected. "We did a lot of research and people told us that they just wanted to feel a bit more connected. And so providing people with some more control to invest in the things in, that's what people are telling us that they want."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
