Investment funds are the smart way to save for your goals

Want to save for your child's education? Or a dream holiday? What about those home renovation projects? Or perhaps you're saving for something else.

Investment funds are a great way of saving for these long term goals. And can often offer a better result than your savings account. But what are investment funds? They're a type of investment where your money is pooled together with other investors, giving you access to a wider range of investments than would be possible for most individual investors. This pool is managed by professionals (us!) and is invested into a range of different assets according to the Fund's or Strategy's investment objective.

What's your goal?

Funding your child's education?

Planning a dream holiday?

Renovating your home?

Something else?

What are my options?

We offer a suite of four separate investment schemes, known as "Portfolios". They invest in World Equities, Australasian Equities, Worlds Bonds, and New Zealand Bonds. These Portfolios can be invested into directly or we recommend through our investment Strategies.

Each Strategy aims to align our investors risk tolerances and investment timeframes to make sure they can reach their long-term goals effectively.

Each Strategy is an investment in a combination of our Portfolios. The proportions invested in each Portfolio will reflect a pre-determined strategic asset allocation according to the risk profile of that Strategy. A more conservative investment Strategy will invest more in a combination of fixed interested investments which aim to provide stable returns compared to our growth Strategies which invest more in stocks which tend to be more volatile but provide relatively high returns over time.

Before making a decision, it can be worthwhile to chat with one of our friendly advisers. Book a session with them here.

Important Information: Fund performance figures have been annualised where the performance period is more than one year. Performance is after fees, and before tax.

The returns are not the returns individual investors would have received as this will depend on the prices at which units are purchased on the date that contributions were received for each investor.

Please note that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future returns. Returns can be positive or negative, and returns over different time periods may vary. No returns are promised or guaranteed.

Disclaimer: While all care has been taken in the display of these fund performance figures, neither Funds Administration New Zealand Limited nor any other person accepts responsibility for any errors.
