Frequently asked questions

How do FundRock's fees compare to other NZ KiwiSaver schemes?

FundRock's funds average 0.84% in annual fees versus a peer median of 0.84% across all NZ KiwiSaver scheme funds. 28 of 44 FundRock funds charge above their fund-type peer median; 16 charge below.

What is the peer median fee for a NZ KiwiSaver scheme fund?

Across all NZ KiwiSaver scheme funds in our coverage, the median annual fee is 0.84%. Median is shown rather than average because a small number of very-high-fee funds would distort the average.

Why does fee level matter for KiwiSaver members?

Illustrative — fees compound across multi-decade investment horizons. A sample sub-1-percentage-point annual-fee difference on a sample balance can compound to a material foregone end-balance over 30 years. Mechanical illustration only — past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
