In September 2016 Whai Rawa transitioned fully into the Financial Markets Conduct Act (2013), having been granted a Managed Investment Scheme (MIS) Licence by the Financial Markets Authority in June 2016. In October 2019 Whai Rawa transitioned to a new Administration Provider relationship and started investing in a socially responsible fund while simultaneously moving the fund to a daily-unit-priced methodology for fund valuation and allocating investment income. In February 2020 the fund branched into new two new investment options adding a Balanced and Growth fund to complement the Conservative fund. Shortly afterwards a new online digital platform was made available to Whai Rawa members to greatly improve the user-experience for Ngāi Tahu whānau. The investment programme is an important distribution channel of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and aims to be the investment vehicle of choice to enrolled Ngāi Tahu whānau as well as assisting whānau to invest towards principle (medium to long-term) goals. I reported directly to the board of the fund manager, Whai Rawa Fund Limited, and to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the creator, and promoter of Whai Rawa. Before my Executive Director position, I held a number of roles at Whai Rawa including Programme Leader and Advisor. Show less
