Smiths Insurance and KiwiSaver is an insurance and KiwiSaver advice firm at Level 2, 383 Colombo Street in Sydenham, Christchurch. It has advised New Zealand families and business owners since 1984 and describes itself as family-run, with clients across the country.
The firm compares the major New Zealand insurers and KiwiSaver providers and then recommends what fits the client's situation. It says it has no in-house product and does not upsell. Advice covers life, trauma, income protection, health, home and contents, and business cover, as well as KiwiSaver, including a free KiwiSaver health check for people who want to see whether they are in the right fund.
The first review is free, and the adviser makes a call at a time that suits the client, usually about 30 minutes, with no obligation. Two clients say their adviser is knowledgeable, reliable and available to answer questions. The firm is licensed by the Financial Markets Authority to provide financial advice and is a member of the Financial Dispute Resolution Service.
