Proposal

  1. This paper seeks agreement for legislative amendments to the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001 (the NZSRI Act), the primary legislation of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZSF).
  2. The proposed amendment to the NZSRI Act is to remove the restriction on the NZSF taking a controlling stake in businesses, reflecting the size, maturity and investment capability for the NZSF to optimise its direct investment strategy and engage in projects of strategic interest within New Zealand.
