The Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund
A regulated New Zealand PIE Fund that provides investment exposure to bitcoin
The Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund is a simple, smart, and trusted way for Kiwis to invest in digital assets like bitcoin - an easy way to get exposure to this dynamic and exciting new asset. The Fund invests in US and Canadian ETF's which in turn invest in bitcoin. This means investors get exposure to the price movements of bitcoin without the administration and tax hassles associated with investing directly via a crypto exchange.
Simple
The Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund is a managed fund in New Zealand, making it a simple process to invest via our trusted retail partners in New Zealand, without the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping digital assets directly.
Smart
Within the Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund investors are taxed using the Fair Dividend Rate method (FDR). For an investor on a 28% PIR rate this means their maximum tax in any given year is 1.4% (being 5% multiplied by 28%). In contrast, when people invest directly in bitcoin, all realised capital gains may be taxable, plus investors will pay tax at their marginal tax rate which may be as high as 39%. Raise Investments Limited is the investment manager for the Fund.
Trusted
The Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund is a managed investment scheme regulated under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is a New Zealand managed fund. The Fund invests in underlying funds and ETFs which are listed on global share markets.

What people say about the Bitcoin ETF PIE Fund
“My main concern with investing in bitcoin has been the complexity of storage. I understand leaving bitcoin on an exchange is not safe, but I don’t want to store it myself and end up losing the passwords. Buying a fund to get the same bitcoin exposure without the effort certainly works for me.”

“This product is great. It really changed my mind about investing in bitcoin. I was concerned and confused about having to store bitcoin myself. But the Fund takes away all that hassle. It also has the added benefit of being more tax efficient.”
