Anglican Financial Care KiwiSaver Review (2026)

What is Anglican Financial Care?

Anglican Financial Care is a not-for-profit financial services organisation that has served the Christian community since 1972, originally established to serve the New Zealand Anglican Church Pension Fund. It runs the Christian KiwiSaver Scheme, open to anyone wanting to align their retirement savings with Christian values, not restricted to Anglicans.

The Christian KiwiSaver Scheme and Ethical Investment Policy

The scheme's investment approach is actively managed and guided by a published Ethical Investment Policy, applying an ethical screening process to selected investments within the portfolio, framed by the organisation as stewardship guided by Christian values.

Other products and services

• The Retire Fund: a separate, closed-to-new-members retirement fund that Anglican Financial Care continues to serve for its existing members.
• Pension Fund: supports eligible Anglican clergy specifically.
• Home loans: available to Anglican clergy and eligible scheme members, including lending for housing on Māori land, with over 50 years' history in this lending.
• Clergy support: a Financial Assistance programme for unexpected costs, and a Health Fund assisting with medical expenses (eligibility criteria apply), for Anglican clergy and clergy widows/widowers.

Fees

One all-in annual fee applies per fund, covering administration, management and all other regular scheme expenses — no performance fees, no membership fee, no other hidden charges:

Members under 18 pay no fee on any fund.

The bottom line

Anglican Financial Care's Christian KiwiSaver Scheme is a values-based option distinguished by its ethical screening policy, straightforward all-in fee structure, and its long institutional history serving the Christian community, rather than a large multi-fund range.
