π Global Tensions & Your KiwiSaver
With everything happening globally (Iran, Israel, USA), Iβve been asked whether this could impact KiwiSaver balances.
For long-term investors, short-term market ups and downs are normal and usually nothing to panic about.
However, if youβre planning to use your KiwiSaver for a house deposit in the near future, protecting your balance is key. It may be worth considering moving into a lower-risk or defensive fund option with your provider to reduce volatility.
The goal?
π― Protect your deposit from unexpected market swings at the wrong time.
