About this aggressive fund

The Global Property Fund is a KiwiSaver scheme fund offered by Smartshares within the SUPERLIFE KIWISAVER SCHEME. Classified as an aggressive fund, it holds 99% growth assets and 1% income assets, positioning it toward capital appreciation rather than income generation. The fund focuses on global property investments and sits at the higher-risk end of the scheme's investment options.

Over the 5-year period to 31 March 2026, the fund delivered an average annual return of 4.45%. The annual fee is 0.68%, which is lower than the peer-median fee of 0.86% for aggressive scheme funds. The fund currently holds $15.6 million in assets across 1,587 members. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

The fund carries a risk indicator of 6 out of 7 on the FMA risk scale, reflecting significant volatility and potential for substantial fluctuations in value. This risk profile is typically considered appropriate for members with longer investment timeframes who can tolerate considerable short-term movements in their balance. Investors should understand that funds at this risk level may experience extended periods of negative returns.

Holdings

As of 2026-03-31 Global Property Fund reports an asset mix of 99% growth assets (shares, listed property, alternatives) and 1% 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.

Performance

Global Property Fund has 28 quarters of QFU data on file (2019-06-30 to 2026-03-31). The 5-year average annual return reported in the most recent QFU is -0.07%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Fees

At 0.68% in annual charges, Global Property Fund's fee sits 0.18 percentage points below the median for Aggressive KiwiSaver scheme funds in our coverage (median 0.86%). 29 of the 128 funds in this cohort charge a lower annual fee (this fund ranks 30 cheapest of 128). Fee level is a mechanical signal — does not factor in returns, risk, or manager skill.

Risk and suitability

Global Property Fund carries a risk indicator of 6/7 on the FMA risk scale. Risk indicator 5-6 funds are typically considered for members with a long investment horizon (10+ years) who can tolerate larger short-term value swings in exchange for higher long-term return potential. FundCompare does not provide personalised advice; consult a licensed financial adviser to understand whether this risk profile fits your circumstances.

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.

Returns: Reflecting the Past

Investing is about seeking returns, but the figures shown here represent historical performance—they cannot be relied upon to continue in the future. Selecting a fund solely based on past performance is not advisable. A well-informed decision should consider factors such as an appropriate investment mix for your goals and reasonable fees.
