100% Growth Assets KiwiSaver Scheme Funds

59 KiwiSaver scheme funds with 100% in shares and property (zero bonds/cash). Maximum long-term returns for aggressive investors with 30+ year timeframes.

⚠️Extreme Risk Warning

100% growth asset funds are the HIGHEST RISK KiwiSaver option

  • • Can lose 20-40% in market crashes
  • • Extreme volatility year-to-year
  • • ONLY for 30+ year timeframes - not suitable for anyone over 35
  • • Zero defensive assets - no cushion during downturns
  • • Not suitable for first home buyers, near-retirees, or moderate risk tolerance

Most advisers recommend 80-90% growth instead for better risk-adjusted returns
