Who do I talk to about a complaint?
If you have a complaint or concern about your investment, you should talk to your scheme provider.
If your concern is that your scheme is not operating in accordance with the Superannuation Schemes Act 1989 or that the financial position of the scheme, the security of members’ benefits or the management of the scheme is inadequate, you can complain to the Government Actuary. The Government Actuary registers superannuation schemes under the Superannuation Schemes Act 1989, and is currently based in the Insurance and Superannuation Unit of the Ministry of Economic Development.
