  2. Reviewing and protecting Your Investments: A KiwiSaver advisor can help you take steps to protect your investments during tough times. This may include adjusting your investment strategy or making changes to your KiwiSaver fund.

  3. Making Informed Decisions: It's easy to make impulsive decisions during tough times, but a professional advisor can help you make informed decisions based on your individual circumstances and investment goals.

  4. Planning for the Future: KiwiSaver is a long-term investment, and it's important to have a plan in place for managing your investments during both good times and bad. A KiwiSaver advisor can help you develop a comprehensive plan that takes into account your goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

In conclusion, managing your KiwiSaver during tough times can be stressful, but seeking professional advice can make all the difference.
