A new survey shows more Kiwis are concerned about where their KiwiSaver investments go.

Mindful Money's annual survey says 74 percent of people expect their investments to be managed responsibly and ethically.

59 percent would move their funds if they weren't invested in a way that aligned with their values.

BusinessDesk editor and Cooking the Books host Frances Cook says perceptions around ethical investing have changed, as people used to be concerned about risks and returns.

"A lot of people have realised that actually, you can get really good returns with ethical investments, actually sometimes even better. I think that's what's taken it from- oh, I'd like to have that, to actually looking into it."
