to start with a difference.

Yeah, we have KiwiSaver, which is our superannuation.

And it is similar, but different percentages go into that.

So I think what we see is there seems to be more of knowledge around superannuation, especially because in Australia, you've got the opportunity to manage some of your own superannuation.

We hear that isn't the case as much.

There's some...

potential there but not as well known as in australia and yeah so that's a kind of difference in the superannuation space but really you know like the same kind of mechanics are there you know we've got exchange-shaded funds managed funds we've got listed companies i think you know the the it is pretty similar to a lot of yeah i would say there's a lot more similarities and differences

Yeah, so the New Zealand Stock Exchange, yeah, they have smart shares which they own and I think they do what they can inside to make sure that it is separate because they're also listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, just like the Australian Stock Exchange.

Yeah.

I think they have to make sure internally that they've got really good kind of walls around it so that when they're the regulator versus when they're kind of, yeah, got their products on their regulated product, I guess.

Yeah, I think there's such an array of things that we've done and still to do.

But when I think back to when we launched New Zealand, I remember –

You know, we were thinking, how can we make investing as easy as online shopping?

You know, helping people be able to invest in a digital way.

How can we make it as easy, but also make sure they're well informed too.

And so they know, you know, like compared to online shopping, you know, what size you're buying, you know, the return policy, you know, all of that kind of stuff.

Like what's the key information, the description of it, the color, you know.

Like, yep, that's the item I want.

And then how do we make it as easy as that?

And so making investing really easy was really, really important.
