The market index annual return is based on the annual return of the S&P/NZX 50 Index. Additional information about the market index is available in the 'Other Material Information' document on the offer register at disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz.

The risk indicator is rated from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The rating reflects how much the value of the fund’s assets goes up and down. A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way.

To help you clarify your own attitude to risk, you can seek financial advice or work out your risk profile at sorted.org.nz/tools/investor-kickstarter.

Note that even the lowest category does not mean a riskfree investment, and there are other risks that are not captured by this rating.

Notes

  • 1 Market index returns (as well as actual returns) have been used to complete the risk indicator, as the fund has not been in existence for 5 years. As a result, the risk indicator may provide a less reliable indicator of the potential future volatility of the fund. The risk indicator for the fund uses 4 years and 4 months of market index returns.

  • 2 We charge fixed fund charges that cover normal fund operating costs. For disclosure purposes, supervisor, audit and legal costs are not included in the manager’s basic fee, but are included in the other management and administration charges.
