The Finance and Expenditure Committee is seeking submissions on the Venture Capital Fund Bill. The bill aims to help New Zealand firms expand beyond the early start-up phase and seeks to increase New Zealand’s productivity levels.

This bill proposes to establish a venture capital fund to be managed and administered by the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation. The Government has allocated $300 million for the fund.

It is intended that after 15 years, all the assets of the fund will be returned to the Crown to fund superannuation.
