About this aggressive fund

The Strategic High Growth Fund is a KiwiSaver scheme fund managed by Koura within the KOURA KIWISAVER SCHEME. It holds 98% in growth assets and 2% in income assets, positioning it as an aggressive option within the provider's fund lineup. This allocation targets long-term capital appreciation for members with extended investment horizons.

Over the five-year period to 31 March 2026, the fund delivered a 0.00% average annual return. The fund charges an annual fee of 1.20%, which sits above the peer-median fee of 0.85% for aggressive KiwiSaver scheme funds in its cohort. The fund manages $24.4 million across 2,808 members as of the latest quarter. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

The FMA risk indicator for this fund sits at 5 out of 7, reflecting a high-risk profile typical of growth-focused investments. Funds at this risk level are generally considered suitable for members who can tolerate significant short-term volatility and have longer timeframes before accessing their savings. This risk classification reflects the fund's substantial exposure to equity markets and associated price fluctuations.

Holdings

As of 2026-03-31 Strategic High Growth Fund reports an asset mix of 98% growth assets (shares, listed property, alternatives) and 2% 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

Strategic High Growth Fund has 6 quarters of QFU data on file (2024-12-31 to 2026-03-31). Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Fees

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

Risk and suitability

Strategic High Growth Fund carries a risk indicator of 5/7 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.

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.
