How to choose a fund.

To make the most of your KiwiSaver investment, you’ll need to understand how funds work and think about which fund works best for your life stage.  When comparing our funds below, ask yourself these two simple questions:

Compare our funds.

Fee1 The annual fund charge is based on the balance you have invested in a fund.

Return2 Average yearly return is over five years, after deducting the annual fund charge and tax at the highest PIR (tax rate), to 31 March 2024. Five year returns are not available for the Default Balanced Fund as it launched on 1 December 2021. Past performance is not a reliable indication of future performance. Future returns for any fund will vary and may be negative at times, which means your balance can be less than what you invested.

Risk3 Indicates how much the relevant Westpac KiwiSaver Scheme fund might go up and down in value (volatility). With more risk comes the potential for greater returns over time. Find out more about how the risk indictor is calculated in the Product Disclosure Statement for the Westpac KiwiSaver Scheme.
