For most people, KiwiSaver is going to form a large part of their deposit. It is important therefore to make sure you know exactly what is going on with your KiwiSaver account, especially regarding these four factors….

• Which fund type you are in, and whether that is the best fund type for you while saving for your deposit.
• How the contributions work, and the difference changing your contribution rate would make to the size of your deposit.
• Where your money is actually invested, and who is looking after it.
• And, really important – what is the process for withdrawing your KiwiSaver when you are ready to buy your first home?
