FRI Research Launch 2026

Join us for the launch of the FSC Financial Resilience Index 2026, our annual snapshot of how New Zealanders are really faring financially.

Now in its seventh year, our annual Financial Resilience Index (FRI) index tracks confidence, wellbeing, retirement preparedness, financial literacy and resilience across the country.

This year's findings reveal a fascinating contradiction: Kiwis are becoming more confident making financial decisions. But uncertainty about the future remains high. Money worries continue to affect health, relationships and overall wellbeing. Younger New Zealanders are carrying the greatest financial pressure.

Following the presentation of the research by FSC Research Lead David Bishop, we'll be joined for a panel discussion with:

• Elle Wuthrich, Financial Adviser, Naked Finance
• Claire Sutton, Executive Manager – Life Portfolio & New Business, Asteron Life
  

Launch of the Financial Resilience Index 2026
Thursday 2 July
4.00pm - 5.30pm
