The First Ever Quotemonster Debate: A Naked Finance Recap

We showed up for the first ever Quality Product Research (Quotemonster) Debate on KiwiSaver access. The big question: Is using KiwiSaver for a first home deposit a ‘band-aid’ crippling our economic future, or an ‘aid’ levelling the playing field for intergenerational wealth?

Jamie Reynolds and Elle Wuthrich - Financial Adviser captained opposing sides. Jamie's team prevailed after a well-fought rebuttal from Elle. Did Elle hate losing? Completely. But did the debate force consideration for both sides? Absolutely.

Our view? Unchanged. For some clients, KiwiSaver is the only way onto the property ladder. The key to such financial decision is getting the right advice before and after withdrawal.

📸 Here's a photo of Jamie and Elle. Huge thanks to the NAKED FINANCE LTD team for the support.

🎤 The Quotemonster Advice Debate Series is continuing its roadshow tour around the country. Keep an eye out, you might just see us there again.

Jamie and Sean went to the Amova Asset Management conference to find out one thing:
More choice + more diversity = better KiwiSaver? Their takeaway? GoalsGetter.

It's a multi-asset manager platform that lets Kiwis choose funds from multiple leading managers, not just one. Backed by one of Asia's largest fund managers, with a local Auckland team.

More choice. More control. That's worth watching. Great to see Amova bringing this to life. We're keen to see where GoalsGetter goes from here.

A proud moment from earlier this month 🏆

Naked Finance attended the My Solutions awards night and we didn't come away naked. Jamie took home Business Excellence from Pathfinder - a nod to our ethical space work and B Corp journey. This one means a lot, because it speaks to the values we're building into our business.

And as a firm, we received Top Achiever - recognition of how we look after clients, our consistency, and the culture we're building.

None of this happens without a team who cares, clients who trust us, and purpose guiding the way. Thanks to all for being a part of our journey.

Onwards and upwards 🙌

Two of our directors, Sean and Jamie, had the privilege of attending the Dimensional business leader’s symposium in Sydney last week. The core theme: powering your advice business into the future.

To say the lads were inspired by what they learnt, is an understatement. Dimensional did a fantastic job of demonstrating how guiding principles shape firm culture and decision-making. We can't wait to start implementing some of these strategies and see how our business and our staff can flourish.

Oh, and they also managed to squeeze in some sightseeing ;)

This year, KidsCan launched a vital new dental programme, recognising that dental hygiene is fundamental to a child's overall wellbeing. We were proud to be part of that mission! Last week, a team of six from Naked Finance headed along to volunteer, spending the day packing dental packs. These packs are now on their way to low-equity early childhood centres, helping our youngest Kiwis start their learning journey with a healthy smile.

It was a privilege to help get this new programme off the ground. Great effort, team!
