The FMA Disclose register is the authoritative source for all KiwiSaver scheme fund disclosures and regulatory filings.

Returns are after fees and tax at PIR 28%, sourced from the QFU PDF as filed with FMA Disclose.

About “—” in return figures: it means no figure is held, not a return of zero. Of the 45 funds listed, 45 have a 1-year return and 41 have a 5-year average return. Figures are drawn from fund disclosures on the FMA Disclose register, chiefly quarterly fund updates. All figures here are from the quarterly fund updates for the period ending December 2022. A fund too new to report a period has no figure for it; other gaps are figures not yet captured from the updates ingested so far.
