SuperLife, and the New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association (NZCPA) are delighted to announce an exciting new alliance that will build upon the existing foundation and connection between the two organisations. SuperLife began working with NZCPA by becoming the association’s superannuation provider back in December 2015 and now SuperLife will work even closer with NZCPA to advance our existing financial education programmes to our players.
This partnership will support NZCPA to advance the existing financial education programmes delivered to current playing members and to further embed the holistic support that is so critical to all NZCPA members.
To mark the occasion Superlife, NZCPA staff and Blackcaps Mark Chapman and Finn Allen gathered at the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) for the traditional “Ringing of the Bell”, with the honour handed to Chapman who made sure the bell was heard loud and clear. Pomp and Ceremony aside Chapman is well aware of the significance of the relationship between Superlife and the NZCPA. "I think it's really important for our members to be educated financially and we're lucky enough to play the sport that we love for a living. Alongside that we have to be smart with our investments to help set up our careers and finances outside of the game. Superlife and the NZCPA are playing a really big role in assisting and educating us to do that.”
NZCPA CEO Heath Mills welcomed the alliance with SuperLife, “We are delighted to have a respected business like SuperLife come closer to our organisation and to help us to deliver programmes that advance the lives of our members. Working with the SuperLife team to build upon our existing education programmes and member support is incredibly exciting and we look forward to working alongside them in the coming years.”
Echoing this sentiment, Smartshares CEO Anna Scott said, “We are absolutely thrilled to build on our long-standing relationship with NZCPA and support their members. By offering our team’s financial expertise we help our nation’s best cricketers to be well positioned for their future beyond the game.”
