Caroline Wood, Forest & Bird Editor explains, "I used www.mindfulmoney.nz to check my KiwiSaver fund and was surprised to find 10% of it was invested in fossil fuel, gambling, alcohol, palm oil, GMOs, human and environmental rights violations, and animal testing. I was able to find a better KiwiSaver fund by using Mindful Money’s online search function, which suggested the Caresaver Conservative Fund, Simplicity Conservative KiwiSaver, and two Mercer Kiwisaver schemes. Mindful Money's search function allowed me to rank my concerns and specify acceptable risk level, fees, returns, and length of investment to find an alternative environmentally friendly fund. It was a great tool, simple and easy to use."
