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.
Applications for units in the Positive Impact Fund will only be accepted from investors who are currently invested in the fund.
Market update
October Wrap Up - Elections and Earnings
Like a New Zealand west coast beach there were complex and sometimes confused under currents driving markets over October. Safe haven assets like gold rallied to all-time highs, longer term interest rates rose sharply, shares drifted backwards, and the kiwi dollar fell. It was the twin impacts of a possible leadership change in the US (which has since come to fruition) and corporate earnings releases that were the most consequential influences over the month. History suggests changes of governments have a smaller medium-term effect on markets than we might think. But with a potentially less trade friendly, isolationist stance from the US, allied with fiscal expansion on top of what is an already very stretched budget this time could be different. At least market price action in October seems to suggest that. Read more in the October Wrap Up.
- Contributions were first invested into the funds on 2 October 2007 (except for the Positive Impact Fund and Aggressive Fund). Contributions were first invested into the Positive Impact Fund on 26 July 2019 and into the Aggressive Fund on 22 November 2023.
- The returns are calculated on the change in unit 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 no subsequent contributions or withdrawals. 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.
- Prior to 1 April 2011, the management fee was calculated and incorporated into the unit price daily, and deducted from the relevant fund monthly. From 1 April 2011, the management fee has not been incorporated into the unit price or deducted from the fund, but deducted from members accounts monthly. In order to display returns pre and post 1 April 2011 on a comparable basis, the management fee has been factored back in to the returns for the periods from 1 April 2011.
- A monthly administration fee of $2.50 applied until 28 September 2021 and is excluded from the calculation of the returns disclosed.
