Like all KiwiSaver schemes, there are fees for investing in the Hive KiwiSaver Scheme. The performance figures shown on our website account for fees.
Fees cover the day-to-day costs of running the scheme. They also include any servicing and advice fees we pay to your Financial Advice Provider, so you can get the advice you need, at no additional cost.
The fees you pay depend on which funds make up your Plan.

A $3 monthly fee ($36 per year) applies to members aged 18 and over.
Buy/sell spreads aren’t a fee — they cover the transaction costs of buying and selling assets. They’re designed to ensure these costs are only borne by members who are transacting, not by everyone in the fund. Spreads shown above are indicative and can change without notice.
For more detailed information on fees, read the Hive KiwiSaver Scheme Product Disclosure Statement.
