The FMA campaign involves a new animation featuring a swimming pool to show some of the common fears around investing. It’s designed to help New Zealanders gain the confidence to dip their toes in the water.
Simone Robbers, FMA Acting Director of External Communications and Investor Capability said: “2.7 million New Zealanders are already investors through KiwiSaver. This campaign encourages people to think beyond KiwiSaver, to learn the basics of investing and address any uncertainty they feel around getting started.”
The animation covers topics including:
- Do I have enough to invest?
- What are the risks?
- Do I know enough to make smart decisions?
The FMA wants people to think about how they can meet their long-term goals, including accessing financial advice. The FMA is working with the CFFC, Financial Advice NZ and NZX to support World Investor Week.
