The Adviser Talk

While there is much debate about whether the Pavlova belongs to Australia or New Zealand, we want you to remember that your Australian Super is yours alone! And if your Aussie Super is still back in Australia, you've got Paula to the rescue!

Paula, our client service officer, joins Ken in the studio for the first time (whoot-whoot) to discuss Aussie Super and why we Kiwis shouldn't leave behind our hard-earned money.
