The Cash Advantage Fund (CAF) is a Managed Fund where a number of investors pool money into one fund. The CAF is specifically designed to operate in a similar way to a traditional On-Call Savings Account. It has been structured as a Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) which means you'll probably receive tax benefits.

AMP Capital Investors are responsible for the management and operation of the Fund. When you invest in the Cash Advantage Fund your money will be on deposit with Rabobank.

Hi, I am on a 28% PIR rate and my partner's PIR rate is 10.5%. If I join CAF with joint account, what is the tax rate and is there any tax benefits?

Jill Rudings, Customer Service Manager: For information regarding PIE tax and the election of a PIR we recommend you read our FAQ on the subject or visit the IRD website. We can not advise you which tax rate to elect when creating an account. The above links should provide you with enough information to make the correct election, if not we recommend you contact your accountant or tax advisor.

When creating a joint account only one IRD number is required and this will be the IRD number we use to report to the IRD. There is more information on how the CAF works and the benefits associated with investing in this product on the CAF section of our site.

The cash advantage fund offers a lower rate than the TSB cash pie...I guess thats because it is a lower risk investment.

Mike Heath: Bruce, the rate we offer for the Cash Advantage Fund (CAF) is significantly influenced by the competitive forces. When compared to similar products from the major retail banks our rate of 3.60% for the CAF is higher than all other major banks other than the rate offered by BNZ.

I am on a 10.5% tax rate. Am I better off if I invest in cash advantage fund or 6 month to 1 year time deposit?
