Milford has once again earned high praise from Canstar, having recently been named recipient of the Canstar KiwiSaver Provider of the Year (six years running), Canstar Outstanding Value – KiwiSaver Scheme Award (six years running – shared award) and the Canstar 2025 Award for Most Satisfied Customers / KiwiSaver (second year in a row).
Milford’s Head of KiwiSaver & Distribution, Murray Harris, said that during times of uncertainty, it is pleasing to know that clients are continuing to place trust in Milford’s KiwiSaver products.
“Every year, we look to enrich the experience someone can have interacting with KiwiSaver, whether they’re a current or prospective Milford member. These awards recognise the hard work the whole team puts into serving our clients, and helping them reach their retirement goals through funds that are actively-managed by our team of experts.”
Tom Slee, Canstar Group Manager – Wealth, Health & New Zealand says, “Congratulations to the entire Milford team. Winning six straight KiwiSaver Provider of the Year Awards and back-to-back Most Satisfied Customers Awards is a fantastic achievement.
“From its impressive run of wins across all our KiwiSaver awards, it’s clear that Milford not only delivers great value and impressive long-term returns to its members, but it also helps empower them to make informed choices about their retirement investments,” said Tom.
Having been named KiwiSaver Provider of the Year for the sixth year in a row, Harris says the team takes pride in consistently delivering market-leading performance and a high-quality client experience and remains committed to continuously enhancing it, especially as young people start to pay attention to KiwiSaver funds. Milford employees are invested in the same KiwiSaver funds as our clients, so they can take comfort in knowing their KiwiSaver money will get the care and attention it deserves.
“We’ve recently seen the Financial Services Council produce data showing 80% of 18-25 year-olds are regularly checking their KiwiSaver balance, illustrating that KiwiSaver as a saving tool is of great importance to young New Zealanders. We want to continue serving them well, whether it be for their first home or eventual retirement,” adds Harris.
Regardless of life stage, Harris places strong emphasis on providing clients with clear, relevant information to support informed decisions about their financial futures.
“With global events, we know that many Kiwis are feeling a little off-kilter right now, which plays out in various ways, including their perceptions of KiwiSaver. Given that backdrop, we’re proud that our results are invariably meeting, if not exceeding, the expectations of our clients,” says Harris.
