About this growth fund

The Quaystreet High Growth Fund is a KiwiSaver scheme fund offered by Smartshares within the QUAYSTREET KIWISAVER SCHEME. The fund allocates 88 percent to growth assets and 12 percent to income assets, positioning it as a growth-focused option designed to pursue capital appreciation over the medium to long term. As of 31 March 2026, the fund held NZD $13.7 million in assets across 292 members.

Over the five-year period to 31 March 2026, the Quaystreet High Growth Fund delivered a 0.00 percent average annual return. The fund charges an annual fee of 1.43 percent, which is 0.32 percentage points higher than the peer-median fee of 1.11 percent for growth-type scheme funds. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

On the Financial Markets Authority's risk indicator scale, this fund sits at 5 out of 7, reflecting a moderately high risk profile. A risk rating of 5 typically suits investors with a longer investment timeframe who can tolerate meaningful fluctuations in fund value and are comfortable with a substantial allocation to growth assets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Holdings

As of 2026-03-31 Quaystreet High Growth Fund reports an asset mix of 88% growth assets (shares, listed property, alternatives) and 12% income assets (cash, bonds, fixed interest). This split is typical for a growth fund. The full asset-mix breakdown including overseas vs domestic and listed vs unlisted exposure appears in the asset-allocation chart below.

Fees

Asset mix

Average for Growth 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.
