ANZ
Winner: People's Choice — Best Plain English Communication 2013
ANZ Wealth’s ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme Investment Statement
Christie Sinai, Manager at Printing.com (Awards sponsor) with Melanie Biss, ANZ
Judges' comment
The document may not persuade a footloose young person of the merits of saving, but it clearly sets out the benefits of doing so for those who are committed to saving and looking for a vehicle through which to do so.
Given the complexity of the topic, ANZ has done an excellent job of providing clear, easy-to-read information for lay readers.
Media statement
ANZ is delighted to receive this award for People’s Choice, Best Plain English Communication.
ANZ Investments is New Zealand’s largest KiwiSaver provider and we’re committed to helping New Zealanders save for their retirement. This People’s Choice award is particularly pleasing as we wanted our updated investment statement to appeal to our customers.
We wrote and designed the investment statement in a way that makes important information easy to find, easy to read and easy to understand and it’s great that the public has recognised this. We believe this will help customers make well-informed decisions about their KiwiSaver provider and their investment in the scheme.
We wanted our refreshed plain English investment statement to give investors confidence about their choices.
We’re proud this award recognises the efforts we’ve made to improve the way we communicate with our customers.
