We’re specialists in bringing UK Pensions to New Zealand

i-Select is built on considerable New Zealand-based expertise, drawing on not only extensive experience of superannuation scheme management but also a thorough understanding of the tax regimes in the UK and New Zealand.

About Us

i-Select is one of the leading managers of New Zealand-based QROPS registered superannuation schemes, helping members save for and enjoy the benefits of their retirement. We have been establishing QROPS Schemes since 2006, when the rules were first introduced.
Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS) must meet the stringent standards set by Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC). i-Select’s expertise in this area is based on considerable experience of superannuation scheme design and management, and a thorough understanding of the tax regimes in the UK and New Zealand.
