  • $8.4 million in government contributions claimed on behalf of our members
  • $450 million+ invested — with a future-focused approach to growth

🤝 Our growing team

🚀 Looking ahead

The Aurora Capital KiwiSaver Scheme may only be 4 years old, but we’re just getting started.

We’ll keep backing companies preparing for tomorrow’s challenges, investing in innovation, and giving our members the advice and support they need to stay on track.

Because whether you’re saving for your first home or building long-term wealth, your KiwiSaver isn’t just an account — it’s a tool to help you grow prosperity, step by step.

🙏 Thank you

We couldn’t have reached this milestone without you — our members, advisers, and community.

Here’s to the next four years — and beyond.

Let’s keep growing prosperity together.
