Are You Inadvertently Funding Animal Testing With Your KiwiSaver?

Unfortunately, the main KiwiSaver plans invest in cruel and invalid animal experimentation. The good news is that there is now an ethical option available — Pathfinder!

Pathfinder (previously called CareSaver) is a KiwiSaver plan that goes further than simply avoiding companies that harm our society – they seek out companies actively making a positive difference.

Pathfinder avoids companies and/or industries causing environmental or social harm, including animal testing, factory farming or other forms of animal exploitation.

In these unprecedented and economically uncertain times, most of us have seen our KiwiSaver take a plunge.

The Pathfinder KiwiSaver scheme, however, is outperforming in the industry. In the first quarter this year, CareSaver's Conservative Fund actually achieved a positive return, while its Balanced and Growth Funds each outperformed the market average by over 5%.
