Kiwis could be unknowingly investing in weapons, through their Kiwisaver providers

Research by charity Mindful Money reveals KiwiSaver investment in global weapons companies has surged by nearly 41-percent on last year.
Investment in weapons companies supplying the conflict in Gaza, through KiwiSaver and retail funds, totaled nearly 72-million-dollars.
Mindful Money CEO Barry Coates says very few Kiwis are aware of this.
He says a lot of Kiwis likely won't be happy with their money being used towards weapons companies, in situations where civilians are suffering.
