ASB Investment Funds Fund Returns
New ASB Aggressive Funds
Looking for new aggressive investment options? Our Aggressive Funds aim for the highest returns of all our funds over the long term, for those who can accept more ups and downs.
The tables below show the ASB Investment Funds fund returns as at 31 October 2023.
Returns are a reflection of past performance and are not a guarantee or indication of future performance because returns fluctuate (move up and down). Returns can be negative and you may receive back less than the total amount of your contributions.
From 24 March 2016 we will only accept applications for units in the World Shares Fund from:
a. wholesale investors; or
b. discretionary investment management service (DIMS) licensees where the DIMS licensee decides to buy the units on behalf of a person in the course of supplying a DIMS to the person.

- Returns are for periods after the commencement of PIE status. For all funds (except for the Positive Impact Fund) this was 1 October 2007. Contributions were first invested into the Positive Impact Fund on 26 July 2019.
- The returns are calculated on the change in exit price of the units in each fund for the period, adjusted for tax credits, and are the returns on funds invested at the beginning of the period, with all distributions reinvested and no subsequent withdrawals or additional investments. Returns for periods greater than 1 year are annualised. Returns for periods less than 1 year are not annualised.
- Since 7 September 2012, the cash portion of each fund has been managed using an active investment management style. The returns in previous periods reflect an index tracking investment management style for cash.
