First Home Buyer - Claire
Claire’s current KiwiSaver Balance : $40,000
Claire is 30 years old and is looking to buy her first home within the next few years. She earns $70,000 per year and needs $75,000 from her KiwiSaver account to pay towards a first home deposit. She is contributing 10% from her salary and her employer contributes 3%.
To check if this fund is appropriate for her, we first need to calculate how long it will take Claire to reach her deposit goal and then compare that to how her current KiwiSaver fund invests her money.

This fund is a Conservative Fund. A Conservative fund may be appropriate for Claire as she still has 3-4 years to go before she saves up enough money.
However, as she gets closer to her goal, she will have to move to a Cash fund.
