"Pathfinder helps me feel optimistic about what the future can hold.”

I think a lot of us really aren’t aware that our investments could be funding things we would never support.

We’re into
generosity...

We've donated over $1 million to Kiwi charities since we launched.

We see charities as doing meaningful mahi to bring about our vision for a better world. After four years of funding our charity partners we’ve decided it’s time to step up the way we do things to have a more direct impact on the pillars our investing stands on.

From 1 April 2024, we have been dedicating 1% of revenue from across our whole business (this covers all our retail managed funds as well as our KiwiSaver funds) to support our vision for a better future happening faster.
