STAYING ON TRACK

Daniel Oosterbroek

When should you review your investment? Daniel Oosterbroek, Crew Leader in the Rodding Room, has been in the Fund for 17 years and talks about his experience at keeping investments on the right track.

Although I have been in the Fund for over 17 years, I still keep a watchful eye on my retirement investments to keep them on track.

I log into the Fund website most weeks to read the latest information published, watch the helpful videos, and learn about the different investment options. The Home Page lists new reports and monthly earnings, which help me analyse my fund performance.

The Trustee Directors at work have also greatly helped me comprehend the Fund Updates, and what these mean for my retirement funds. When there is uncertainty in global markets it prompts me to think about how this will impact my returns.

Over the years I have tried various investment strategies, aiming to secure the best returns possible. I have found that actively finding and understanding information, along with riding out market changes, are the best methods for staying on track long term.

Saving for retirement is important and even before I started with the company many years ago, I heard about the Fund from my father-in-law, who was a former member. I knew it was worthwhile to actively engage in the Fund as soon as I joined NZAS.
