About
An independent directory
for NZ wholesale investors.
Connecting sophisticated investors with established providers and aggregators — independent listings and comparisons, never bought.
Our Mission
To democratize access to wholesale investment opportunities by providing transparent, independent information and connecting qualified investors with providers across New Zealand.
Independent & Unbiased
We're free for investors and never take a share of your investment. Any manager advertising or introduction fees are clearly labelled and never affect which providers we list, the facts we show, or our comparisons.
Sourced, Not Endorsed
Listings show what each provider publishes, with the source document linked. We don't vet or endorse providers — read the offer documents and check the FSP register.

Why Wholesale Investor NZ exists
Most New Zealanders who qualify as wholesale investors under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 still have no easy way to compare investment opportunities outside the listed market. Private credit, property syndicates, venture capital, AIP-eligible funds and alternative strategies are scattered across dozens of provider websites, fund manager PDFs, financial adviser channels and word-of-mouth networks.
We built Wholesale Investor NZ as the independent, free directory we wished existed when we first started looking. Listing is a directory function: we show what each provider publishes about its funds and offers, with sources, and we do not vet, verify or endorse any of them — check the offer documents and the Financial Service Providers Register before investing. Wholesale Investor NZ is free for investors and never takes a share of your investment. We may receive advertising or introduction fees from managers we have an agreement with. Paid placement is always labelled "Featured" and can place a provider first in a directory listing; it never affects which providers we list, the facts we show about them, or the order of any comparison, guide or report.
Who we serve
Eligible investors and family offices comparing private-market allocations, AIP visa applicants assessing NZTE-approved fund managers, financial advisers researching wholesale opportunities for clients, and overseas investors transferring UK pensions to QROPS-recognised NZ schemes. We focus exclusively on the NZ market — that means deeper coverage of local fund structures (PIE, LP, MIS), tax considerations (PIR, FIF), and the regulatory context (FMA, FMCA 2013) than generalist platforms can provide.
Editorial firewall
Comparison articles, asset-class education and the glossary are never edited in exchange for money. Sponsors get a clearly-labelled badge, a directory placement and lead routing on their own provider page — they do not get rewritten copy elsewhere on the site. This site does not provide personalised financial advice. Wholesale investing carries higher risk than retail products and offers fewer regulatory protections; always read fund disclosure documents and consider speaking to a licensed financial adviser before investing.
