Investment management style
Remember that ASB KiwiSaver Scheme Investment Funds are index tracking funds. An index tracking fund (or passive fund) is a type of fund that is designed to mirror the return of the markets in which they invest. This means that when the markets that your KiwiSaver savings are invested into are performing well then your investment will also perform well. On the flipside, if the markets are not performing well then your investment will also not perform well. Four of the five ASB KiwiSaver Scheme Investment Funds are diversified to help spread the impact of any one market's under-performance.
