This raises critical questions: Are current KiwiSaver settings fit for purpose? Should contribution rates, default fund structures, or withdrawal rules be adjusted? Political parties are signalling different approaches to retirement policy, and these decisions will have far-reaching consequences—not only for individuals but also for businesses, financial markets, and the investment community. For the industry, understanding these dynamics is essential to navigating portfolio strategies and capital allocation in a changing regulatory and economic environment.Our expert panel includes:<ul><li>Dr Michelle Reyers, CFA – Policy Lead, Retirement Commission</li></ul><ul><li>Liam Dann – Political Commentator &amp; Journalist</li></ul><ul><li>Sam Stubbs – Managing Director, Simplicity</li></ul><ul><li>Moderated by Christina Leung, CFA – CFA Society NZ Vice Chair</li></ul>CFA Society New Zealand has determined that this program qualifies for 1 PL credit hour under the guidelines of the CFA Institute Professional Learning program.
