When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Insurance or Investments?

Provincial Wealth - Time for Review

The best time to review your insurance and investments was yesterday.

The next best time is today.

If it’s been more than 12 months—or if life has changed recently—your insurance and investments may no longer be protecting you the way they should.

In our fast-moving financial environment, outdated insurance or investment strategies could leave you exposed or falling behind.


Why You Should Review Annually

Your life changes. So should your financial protection.

Most financial experts recommend reviewing your insurance and investment portfolio at least once a year, or whenever a major life event occurs. This ensures you're not underinsured, overpaying, or missing opportunities to grow your wealth.

Common Triggers for a Review:

  • You’ve gotten married, had children, or divorced

  • You’ve bought or sold a property

  • You’ve changed jobs, started a business, or retired

  • Your income or expenses have significantly changed

  • You've taken on more (or less) debt

  • You haven’t reviewed your KiwiSaver in the last 12 months

Insurance Reviews: Are You Really Covered?

In the current New Zealand environment—with rising premiums, more frequent weather events, and complex policies—many Kiwis are either underinsured or paying too much.

According to the Insurance Council of New Zealand, more than 1 in 5 New Zealanders have switched providers in the past two years due to financial pressure. But many others simply let their policy roll over—often without knowing if it still meets their needs.

What We Check in an Insurance Review:

  • Do your cover levels still match your debt, income, and dependents?

  • Are there newer or more cost-effective policy options available?

  • Are your policies aligned with your current health, job, and lifestyle?

 

Investment Reviews: Stay on Track Toward Your Goals

Markets change. Your goals evolve. Yet many Kiwis haven’t checked their investments or KiwiSaver in years. If you haven’t looked at your fund type, risk profile, or performance, you could be losing valuable returns or taking unnecessary risks.

What’s Included in an Investment Review:

  • Checking your fund allocation matches your risk tolerance and goals

  • Reviewing performance vs. benchmarks

  • Ensuring your investments are diversified and tax-efficient

  • Planning for milestones like home buying or retirement
