New Zealand QROPS

The New Zealand QROPS run by stockbrokers Hamilton Hindin Greene for UK pension transfers offer you an excellent range of investment options.

The HHG New Zealand QROPS can accept transferred funds in GBP sterling and hold the funds in GBP sterling until you wish to change them into NZ$ - this allows you to wait for a good exchange rate, while still earning a competitive rate of interest. When you are ready to convert your fund into NZ$, you just need to make a phone call to get your transfer under way.

You have a wide range of investment options of a UK SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) along with the flexibility of a New Zealand pension fund.

This QROPS allows you to choose from literally thousands of investment products to create your own personalised QROPS. The investments available to you include:

1. Cash accounts in Pounds Sterling, US Dollars, New Zealand Dollars and Australian Dollars (Euros may also be held in a cash account, but only for amounts of over €100,000).
2. Term deposits in various currencies, including Pounds Sterling, US Dollars, New Zealand Dollars and Australian Dollars.
3. Managed funds and unit trusts (NZ and Offshore)
4. Government stock
5. Capital notes
6. Corporate bonds and other fixed interest investments
7. NZ and international equities
8. Direct ownership of residential and commercial property
9. Listed property trusts
10. Individual assets
