For 20 years, Whai Rawa has helped thousands of Kāi Tahu whānau build financial prosperity and save for their future. During this time, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (Te Rūnanga) has contributed more than $85 million through matched savings, distributions, fees, and taxes.
As we look ahead, we are introducing changes to ensure Whai Rawa remains a strong and sustainable scheme for current and future generations. As part of this, we are notifying members of upcoming changes that will be implemented from 1 January 2027.
From this date members will contribute towards the Administration Manager’s fee, resulting in an increase in the scheme’s annual fund charges.
The way annual fund charges are applied is not changing, and they will continue to be reflected in the unit price rather than charged directly to your account. Please see the website for a table confirming total fees effective 1 January 2027 - www.whairawa.com/benefits or view the Product Disclosure Statement www.whairawa.com/pds
