New Financial Markets Authority: Smartsharesâ SuperLife Selected As Default KiwiSaver Date
13/05/2021
The selection of NZX’s Smartshares as one of the six default KiwiSaver providers reflects a focus on low fees and a straightforward, transparent investment approach, says Smartshares CEO, Hugh Stevens.
Smartshares’ SuperLife KiwiSaver scheme cares for more than $1.2 billion on behalf of 31,350 New Zealanders.
Mr Stevens says the SuperLife KiwiSaver scheme has proven popular with members – “We provide financial wellbeing with a compelling combination of low fees and a passive approach to investing that we believe delivers better long-term results.
“Our KiwiSaver scheme has easy-to-use conservative, balanced and growth funds but also provides KiwiSavers who want more choice with access to a wide range of Smartshares Exchange Traded Funds. Our new default balanced fund will be an attractive option for cost-conscious New Zealand investors.”
Judge David Hall of Forsyth Superior Court made the decision after he presided over a virtual hearing.
Neville died in December 2019 after having a medical emergency at the Forsyth County Jail. Five former detention officers and a nurse have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in his death.
It was the third such hearing connected to records, including a 723-page report from the State Bureau of Investigation, that the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services had planned to release to The (Raleigh) News & Observer, following a public-records request.
An attorney for DHHS notified Assistant District Attorney Elisabeth Dresel on Jan. 28 about the agencyâs intention to release the records. The next day, Dresel filed an objection and Hall temporarily sealed the records. Attorneys for a media coalition that includes the Winston-Salem Journal and the N&O were not notified that the records were going to be released or that prosecutors had filed an objection.
Forsyth County prosecutors are seeking to prevent the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services from releasing records on the jail-related death of John Elliott Neville in December 2019.Â
A day after DHHS officials indicated they would be releasing certain documents in its possession to a news organization, a Forsyth County prosecutor filed an objection and a request for a temporary protective order, which a Forsyth County judge granted the same day, according to court documents filed in Forsyth Superior Court.Â
Attorneys for a media coalition that includes the Winston-Salem Journal were not notified. (The Winston-Salem Journal was part of a coalition that requested public release of videos showing the events that led to Neville s death.)

COMPANY WITH TIES TO TIM MOORE GETS $3.5 MILLION DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONTRACT: Noting Caitlyn’s Courage is a private nonprofit, Judson Whitehurst declined to identify the companies that bid on the project other than to confirm Tarheel won it. There is case law, however, that suggests private nonprofits spending government money on public, governmental purposes would be subject to North Carolina’s public records law. Tarheel Monitoring has two ties to House Speaker Tim Moore, a Cleveland County Republican. The wife of Tarheel Monitoring’s owner has made two campaign contributions to Moore, including $3,000 in June 2019. State records also show Raleigh attorney Gene Davis, a close friend of Moore’s who shares legal clients with him, reported an ownership in an offshoot of the business several years ago.
