This fund's asset mix
Average for Aggressive funds
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.

The blue segment shows the annual fees you’d pay if you invested $30,000 in this fund. The grey segment represents the typical yearly fees for an average Aggressive KiwiSaver scheme fund, so you can compare them directly.
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.
