About “—” in return figures: it means no figure is held, not a return of zero. Of the 53 funds listed, 51 have a 5-year average return. 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.
Manager identity and FSP registration sourced from the most recent FMA-filed Quarterly Fund Update for each fund. Supervisor, custodian, and auditor relationships are typically disclosed in each scheme's Product Disclosure Statement and Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives.
