About the project
The
Federation of Islamic Associations New Zealand (FIANZ) and
Ethnic Research Aotearoa (ERA) have partnered to shine a spotlight on ethnic communities' financial wellbeing and ethical investment. While there has been debate on KiwiSaver and retirement income policies, ethnic communities have generally not been part of the conversation or a consideration.
We are grateful to
Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission for supporting the translation of this survey.
How your information will be used
The feedback from the survey will be used to help FIANZ and ERA communicate to policy-makers and decision-makers what options for change might be needed.
Answering the questions in the survey
It will take about 10 minutes to do the survey. It may take longer if you want to make a lot of comments.
Your feedback is completely confidential

- Your responses to the survey will be seen only by the MartinJenkins team carrying out this research on ERA's behalf. MartinJenkins is a New Zealand-owned advisory firm working on some of the country's most important challenges and opportunities. MartinJenkins will not share them with anyone else.
- We will not share your responses with FIANZ, the Retirement Commission, or ERA in a way that would allow them to identify that the responses are from you.
