Performance Overview
KiwiSaver performance has been strong over the latest quarter, with high-growth and sector-focused funds leading the way. While markets have had their ups and downs, the longer-term results show a more consistent picture. Milford continues to perform strongly over 10 years, taking the top spots for both Growth and Balanced funds, while Generate leads the Aggressive category. Kōura also made an impact in the short term.
And what about the banks? ASB performed well in the more conservative categories over the medium term, but non-bank funds continue to stand out when it comes to longer-term growth. Different investment approaches perform differently depending on the market and your goals – which is why looking beyond the headline returns is important when choosing a KiwiSaver fund.
