Leading By A Strong Margin: Generate Wins Its Fourth Consecutive Consumer NZ People's Choice Award For KiwiSaver
'Generate Investment Management was the top-ranked KiwiSaver provider in our 2025 survey, with 80 percent of its customers reporting high levels of overall satisfaction,' said Consumer chief executive Jon Duffy.
The Consumer NZ's People's Choice award recognises products and services whose customers are highly satisfied. This is the fourth consecutive year Generate has been honoured with an award from Consumer NZ in the KiwSaver category.
Our members gave Generate high praise for outstanding customer service, clear communication, ease of access on its digital platform and impressive long-term investment performance.
'Winning the Consumer NZ People's Choice Award is a testament to our focus on excellent service and friendly, helpful advice, as well as strong long-term returns,' said Kristian James, Generate Head of Distribution.
'It's especially important through times of market volatility that we look after our members and make a real difference to them – offering reassurance, clarity, and a genuine human connection.'
Based on its independent nationwide customer satisfaction surveys, the Consumer NZ People's Choice Awards are highly regarded in the industry and serve as a valuable resource for consumers seeking trustworthy and reliable brands.
In addition to this prestigious award, Generate is also pleased to have once again achieved strong long-term performance for our members in the year ending 31 March 2025, with our three original KiwiSaver funds all placing in the top three of their respective categories for 10-year performance:
The Generate KiwiSaver Moderate Fund ranked 1st for 10-year returns in the NZ multisector moderate category*
The Generate KiwiSaver Growth Fund ranked 3rd for 10-year returns in the NZ multisector growth category*
The Generate KiwiSaver Focused Growth Fund ranked 3rd for 10-year returns in the NZ multisector aggressive category*
While markets are currently volatile, it's significant to note that all three of these funds have remained steadfastly in the top three in their category for 10-year performance, for every quarter since they first became eligible in June 2023.

Govt accepts 'Price it Right' petition
By Anneke Smith of RNZ Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis has accepted Consumer New Zealand's 'Price It Right' petition for accurate supermarket pricing. The petition, signed by 25,000 people, was presented to Willis on the steps of Parliament this morning. Willis wrote to the major supermarkets in June this year, warning them against misleading promotional practices and pricing errors. Consumer NZ chief executive John Duffy said supermarkets have had plenty of opportunity to sort it out for themselves. "It's time for the government to step in and make supermarkets price it right, and tens of thousands of New Zealanders agree. "People want clear pricing rules, automatic compensation and stronger penalties when supermarkets get it wrong." In 2024, the Commerce Commission estimated pricing errors were likely costing shoppers tens of millions of dollars a year. "If supermarkets can't get their pricing right, they - rather than shoppers - should face the consequences," Duffy said. Consumer NZ's petition asked the government to introduce a mandatory supermarket pricing accuracy code: • With clear pricing rules. • Requiring supermarkets to automatically compensate consumers when pricing errors occur. • Requiring shoppers' right to be clearly disclosed both in store and online. • Infringement notice powers and much higher penalties for misleading pricing and promotions. "We know that all the problems in the supermarket sector won't be fixed overnight, but new rules like those in our proposed code will help put money back in the pockets of New Zealanders," Duffy said. 'Time supermarkets pulled up their socks' Willis told RNZ she had received assurances new processes were in place after putting major supermarkets on notice in June. "They then wrote back to me and pledged that they are going to have refund policies in place from now on; in the case of Foodstuffs that hadn't previously been the case. "Now, if a pricing error is found, you get your money back and you keep to you get to keep the goods. "They've also pledged that they will advertise these refund policies and they have pledged that they are investing significant sums and better training for their staff and better systems to stop these errors happening in the first place." They were important commitments and the government would hold major supermarkets accountable to them, Willis said. "I have been consulting on strengthening the infringement regime in the Fair Trading Act, strengthening penalties and potentially introducing civil proceedings so that it is easier to prosecute supermarkets when they do the wrong thing. "I will consider the submissions on that consultation before taking recommendations to Cabinet." Asked if it was fair the onus was still on consumers to notice price discrepancies, the minister said it wasn't. "I do worry that for every person who's noticed it, there are other New Zealanders who've been ripped off and haven't had the opportunity to get redress. "So that's why we are strengthening our approach in this area. We think it's time that the supermarkets pulled up their socks."
