Garry Murphy says he won't be taking his money out of KiwiSaver when he becomes eligible in July because he doesn't need it yet.
"I am leaving it in for a combination of reasons - it's probably as good there as it is anywhere and it's also a little bit
of social conscience as I think we need to invest more in our own country."
The 66-year-old working farmer saw the benefits of KiwiSaver from the start and signed up when it was launched in 2007.
"To kick it off was a no-brainer."
Already a regular share investor, Murphy put his money in a growth portfolio which has been battered a fair bit by the global financial crisis.
