Overview

About this growth fund

The QuayStreet High Growth Fund sits within the QuayStreet KiwiSaver Scheme and pursues growth-oriented investment objectives. The fund allocates 88% to growth assets and 12% to income assets, positioning it toward the higher end of the scheme's portfolio range. This composition reflects a strategy centred on capital appreciation over the medium to long term, suitable for members with extended investment horizons.

The fund charges an annual fee of 0.63%, which sits below the peer-median fee of 1.05% for growth-type scheme funds in the KiwiSaver market. As at 30 September 2023, the fund held NZD $839.0 million in assets across 20,760 members. Five-year average annual returns have not been reported for this fund. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

The QuayStreet High Growth Fund carries a risk indicator of 5 out of 7 on the FMA risk scale, placing it in the higher-risk category. This risk profile is typically considered appropriate for members who can tolerate significant short-term volatility in pursuit of longer-term growth, and who have substantial time before they intend to access their KiwiSaver balance. Members should ensure their personal circumstances and investment goals align with this risk level.

Holdings

As of 2023-09-30 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.

Performance

QuayStreet High Growth Fund has 2 quarters of QFU data on file (2022-09-30 to 2023-09-30). Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Fees

At 0.63% in annual charges, QuayStreet High Growth Fund's fee sits 0.42 percentage points below the median for Growth KiwiSaver scheme funds in our coverage (median 1.05%). 12 of the 67 funds in this cohort charge a lower annual fee (this fund ranks 13 cheapest of 67). Fee level is a mechanical signal — does not factor in returns, risk, or manager skill.

Risk and suitability

QuayStreet 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. FundCompare does not provide personalised advice; consult a licensed financial adviser to understand whether this risk profile fits your circumstances.

Five Year Average Return

About “—” in return figures: it means no figure is held, not a return of zero. No 5-year average return figure is held for this fund. Figures are drawn from fund disclosures on the FMA Disclose register, chiefly quarterly fund updates. Each fund shows the most recent figure held; the latest quarter broadly covered across all funds is March 2026. A fund too new to report a period has no figure for it; other gaps are figures not yet captured from the updates ingested so far.

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.
