Understanding Fund Types

KiwiSaver funds are typically categorised by their asset allocation and risk profile. The following are general descriptions - specific fund characteristics vary by provider.

Conservative Funds

Generally have higher allocations to income assets (cash, bonds) and lower allocations to growth assets (shares, property).

Balanced Funds

Typically have a mix of income and growth assets, often around 50-60% growth assets.

Growth Funds

Generally have higher allocations to growth assets (70-90%), with smaller allocations to income assets.

Aggressive Funds

Typically have the highest allocations to growth assets (often 90%+), with minimal income assets.

Note: Higher growth asset allocation generally means higher potential returns but also higher volatility and risk of loss.
