Research IP brings you the RIPPL Roundup each month to provide an early market snapshot for New Zealand and Australian financial advisers.
Responsible investing has become a focus area in the investment industry, but greenwashing is rife and the sales pitch is strong, so what really matters? Research IP brings you the RIPPL Sluice to provide examples of responsible investment in action every month.
Research IP believes independent, objective, and holistic analysis is required to understand the efficacy and nuance of different responsible investment strategies and how these relate to investors’ altruistic objectives. Independent research will give investors something to hang their hat on when evaluating which managed funds suit their objectives. This is particularly relevant for those Kiwis who end up in a Default fund and may wish to make an active choice and change to a different KiwiSaver provider.
The review of the KiwiSaver Default Provider arrangements in 2021 was seriously imbalanced. What do the new Default funds look like and how do they compare to the fund managers’ equivalent non-default balanced fund? What criteria can you use to make a balanced assessment of the funds on a forward-looking basis?
Comparing KiwiSaver fees is like comparing apples to oranges. The intricacies inside the required disclosures make accurate comparisons difficult and time consuming, not to mention the time taken to find all of the relevant information in the first place. Even the inclusion of GST is inconsistent.
We are excited to announce a new partnership for Research IP in New Zealand, interest.co.nz is now providing you access to over 300 RIPPL Effect reports to better “help you make financial decisions”.

But with the inflation spectre looming on the horizon, former US Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh says the window of opportunity for central banks to act may already be closing.
