Want to invest regularly?
Check out our Regular Investor Plan. This is a great way for you to reduce the impact of market fluctuations by investing specific amounts into one or more funds on a regular basis. It's a simple plan (often referred to as 'dollar cost averaging') which can reduce the risks associated with making large one-off investments. Plus, once you've set it up you don't have to make single one-off investments.

Reduced tax for 33% & 30% tax payers

Let RaboDirect do the paperwork for you
Managed Funds require you to pay tax annually, unlike traditional deposit products where tax is paid monthly when interest is earned.
When you invest in Managed Funds with RaboDirect the tax is automatically deducted from your account at the end of the tax year or during the year when you sell units.
In addition to this your Statements and Tax Certificates are generated dynamically and stored historically for your convenience. Most other banks give you the option to print off statements, but how many go as far as letting you print of your Tax Certificates as well? So when it's time to arrange your finances you can instantly print the copies you need.
Take control & manage your money
It's important you monitor your funds once you've made your purchase.
Take control with RaboDirect. We provide you ongoing market commentary and performance reports enabling you to track your fund performance, your assets and your investment strategy.
Pay tax annually
