About this aggressive fund

The Australasian Share Fund is offered by ANZ within the ONEANSWER KIWISAVER SCHEME as an aggressive KiwiSaver scheme fund. It holds 100 percent growth assets and zero percent income assets, positioning it toward capital appreciation rather than income generation. This fund sits at the more growth-oriented end of ANZ's KiwiSaver scheme fund lineup, designed for members seeking exposure to shares across the Australasian region.

Over the five-year period to 31 March 2026, this KiwiSaver scheme fund delivered an average annual return of 1.67 percent. The annual fee is 0.99 percent, which is 0.14 percentage points higher than the peer-median fee of 0.85 percent for aggressive-category funds. The fund manages approximately $33.3 million in assets across 933 members. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

The FMA risk indicator places this fund at 5 out of 7, reflecting an aggressive risk profile typical for members with longer investment horizons and higher tolerance for short-term volatility. Funds at this risk level are generally considered suitable for those seeking growth-focused exposure and who can weather significant market fluctuations without concern. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Holdings

As of 2026-03-31 Australasian Share Fund reports an asset mix of 100% growth assets (shares, listed property, alternatives) and 0% income assets (cash, bonds, fixed interest). This split is typical for a aggressive fund. The full asset-mix breakdown including overseas vs domestic and listed vs unlisted exposure appears in the asset-allocation chart below.

Australasian Share Fund has 2 quarters of QFU data on file (2025-03-31 to 2026-03-31). The 5-year average annual return reported in the most recent QFU is 1.67%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Fee level is a mechanical signal — does not factor in returns, risk, or manager skill.

Risk and suitability

Asset mix

Average for Aggressive funds

Your investment mix shapes your outcome

The balance of assets you choose — your asset allocation, has the biggest impact on how your investments perform and how much their value may rise or fall along the way. Selecting that balance is crucial. By adjusting the proportion of growth-oriented investments you include, you’re effectively setting your preferred level of risk. Generally, taking on more risk can increase the potential for higher returns, but there’s never a guarantee — that’s the nature of risk. To find an allocation suited to your personal circumstances (sometimes called your risk profile), you can start with an investor risk questionnaire or a KiwiSaver-specific guide.

Smaller Fees, Bigger Potential

When it comes to investing, spending more doesn’t automatically lead to stronger results. In fact, higher fund fees can often eat into your returns. Remember, what you keep is calculated after fees and taxes are deducted. Because no one can predict how any fund will perform, it’s generally wise to look for options with lower costs whenever you can.
