WELLINGTON — The government is revamping KiwiSaver rules to ban investing in fossil fuels and illegal weapons, and improve investment returns. New contracts for default providers from July 2021 will also require new savers to be put into balanced funds unless they opt otherwise. Commerce Minister Kris Faafoi said banning investment in fossil fuel companies would help combat climate change and carbon emissions. “It also makes sense for the funds themselves given that there is a risk of investing in stranded assets as the world moves to reduce emissions.” He said the Superannuation Fund quit such investments more than two years ago and its investment returns had not suffered.

Needing only 132 runs to win after dismissing India for 124 in their second innings, New Zealand were marched toward that total by openers Tom Latham (52) and Tom Blundell (55), who put on 103 for the first wicket. New Zealand lost the wickets of both openers and captain Kane Williamson (5) on the way but reached their target in 36 overs with Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls both 5 not out.
