We're so pleased Giovana could help Fernando feel informed and confident throughout the process.

Just because someone has thousands of followers doesn't mean their investment advice is right for you.

Financial influencers can be a useful source of information, but it's important to understand what's behind the recommendation.

Are they qualified? Are they being paid to promote something? And most importantly, does the investment actually suit your goals and circumstances?

As part of World Investor Week, we're sharing a few reminders to help Kiwis make more informed investment decisions.

Swipe through for four things worth checking before following a finfluencer's recommendation.

And if you're unsure about an investment opportunity, our advisers can help you look at the bigger picture.

AI can help you research investments, understand financial terms and explore your options. But should you trust it to tell you where to put your money?

Not without asking a few more questions.

While AI can be a useful starting point, the information it provides isn't always accurate, complete or suited to your personal circumstances.

And when it comes to investing, your goals, timeframe and comfort with risk all matter.

As part of World Investor Week, we're encouraging Kiwis to be curious, ask questions and check the information they're relying on.

Swipe through for a few things worth considering before acting on investment advice from AI.

And if you'd like a second opinion, our team can help you make sense of your options.

“I joined KiwiSaver years ago, so I’m sorted.”

It’s an easy assumption to make. You joined, contributions are going in, and your balance is growing. Job done, right?

Not necessarily.

The fund you were placed in years ago may not still suit your goals, timeframe, attitude to risk or what matters to you when it comes to where your money is invested.

And as your life changes, what’s right for your KiwiSaver can change too.
So rather than simply setting and forgetting it, it’s worth checking in every now and then to make sure your KiwiSaver is still working towards your goals.

Can’t remember the last time you reviewed yours? Have a chat with the Velocity team.

Sometimes the biggest difference starts with one conversation.

This client thought their KiwiSaver was sorted. They were contributing, receiving employer contributions and getting the annual government contribution. It wasn’t until a conversation with a financial adviser that they discovered their fund wasn’t as well aligned with their goals, timeframe or values as they thought.

A review led to some important changes, and today their KiwiSaver is in a very different position.

It’s a good reminder that having KiwiSaver and regularly contributing to it doesn’t necessarily mean you should simply set and forget it.

When did you last check whether your KiwiSaver still suits where you’re heading?

Swipe through to read the story, and if it gets you thinking about your own KiwiSaver, have a chat with the Velocity team.

What does a financial adviser actually do?

We asked a few of our advisers what people might not realise about their job, and it turns out there's quite a bit happening behind the scenes.

For Simon, it's the variety. He works with people all over New Zealand, from first-home buyers through to retirees, each with their own stories, goals and challenges.

Tully points to the amount of research that can sit behind a recommendation, particularly when it comes to managed funds. That can mean keeping an eye on markets, global events and what's happening on the other side of the world.

For Jared, it's how much advisers can actually help with, and how well they get to know their clients along the way. Finances, personal goals and future plans can all be part of the conversation.

And Giovana summed it up simply: every client's situation is different. That's what keeps the job interesting.

So, what does a financial adviser do? Listen, research, ask questions, understand the bigger picture and help you make informed decisions about your finances.

Think you need a 20% deposit before you can even start thinking about buying your first home? You might have more options than you realise.

Depending on your circumstances, buying with a smaller deposit may be possible. The key is understanding what options are available to you, and what buying at a lower deposit could mean for your mortgage.

Before you spend another year trying to reach that 20% number, it could be worth having a conversation with an adviser to see where you actually stand.
You might be closer than you think. https://www.velocityfinancial.co.nz/contact
