First home buyer Miller said she and her partner had applied to use their KiwiSaver funds to buy their first home but in the weeks since their loan was approved their KiwiSaver balances had dropped below their agreed deposit amount.

Your decisions about what will happen to your money and assets after you are gone are an opportunity to make a real difference.
That’s the central proposition of The Bequest Report, newly published by financial advisors JBWere New Zealand.
Their research points to a curious anomaly of Kiwis’ generosity – our giving to charities over our lifetimes is relatively high by international standards, and yet the number of charitable ‘gifts in Wills’ is quite low here, when compared to bequest rates in equivalent countries.
This matters, because with the Baby Boomers beginning to pass away, the Western world is at the start of the largest-ever inter-generational transfer of wealth.
The Bequest Report is therefore intended to be a ‘call to action’, for all New Zealanders to leave a portion of their estates to charitable organisations, so that our society as a whole benefits from this moment in history.
What are the key researched facts in the Report that confirm this development?
